1. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3. My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
