1. Don't punish me, Lord,or even correct mewhen you are angry!
2. Have pity on me and healmy feeble body.My bones tremble with fear,
3. and I am in deep distress.How long will it be?
4. Turn and come to my rescue.Show your wonderful loveand save me, Lord.
5. If I die, I cannot praise youor even remember you.
6. My groaning has worn me out.At night my bed and pilloware soaked with tears.
7. Sorrow has made my eyes dim,and my sight has failedbecause of my enemies.
8. You, Lord, heard my crying,and those hateful peoplehad better leave me alone.
9. You have answered my prayerand my plea for mercy.
10. My enemies will be ashamedand terrified,as they quickly run awayin complete disgrace.
