Verse 1:
O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Chorus:
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
Verse 2:
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.
Chorus:
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
Verse 3:
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.
Chorus:
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
Verse 4:
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
