1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David. Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger! Do not discipline me in your raging fury!
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am frail! Heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking!
3 I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord -- how long will this continue?
4 Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!
5 For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?
