2 Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for Iampining away;Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.
3 And my soul is greatly dismayed;But You, O Yahweh—how long?
4 ¶Return, O Yahweh, rescue my 6:4Or life soul;Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
5 For there is no remembrance of You in death;In Sheol who will give You thanks?
6 ¶I am weary with my sighing;Every night I make my bed swim,I flood my couch with my tears.
7 My eye has wasted away with grief;It has become old because of all my adversaries.
8 ¶Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Yahweh has heard my supplication,Yahweh receives my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;They shall 6:10Or again be ashamed suddenly turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.
