A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD heal me for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled; But you, O LORD – how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5 For in death there is no remembrance of YOU; In the grave who will give You thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with tears.
7 My eyes wastes away because of grief; it grows old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard of my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
