For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to Sheminith.^(A) A psalm of David.

¹Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger;
do not discipline me in your wrath.^(B)
²Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak;^[a]^(C)
heal me,^(D) Lord, for my bones are shaking;^(E)
³my whole being is shaken with terror.^(F)
And you, Lord—how long?^(G)

⁴Turn, Lord! Rescue me;
save me because of your faithful love.^(H)

who can thank you in Sheol?^(I)
