The Book of Psalms

O Lord , rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.(a)

(b)

Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; for I am weak: O Lord , heal me; for my bones are vexed.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord , how long?

Return, O Lord , deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.(c)

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
