The Word of God.

¹O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.#

²Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.#

³My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?#

⁴Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.#

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?#

⁶I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.#

⁷Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.#

⁸Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.#

⁹The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.#

¹⁰Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.#
