or discipline me in your wrath.

O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.

3 Ps 90.13; Jn 12.27 My soul also is struck with terror,

while you, O Lord—how long?

4Turn, O Lord, save my life;

deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5 Ps 30.9; Isa 38.18 For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who can give you praise?

6I am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

they grow weak because of all my foes.

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 Ps 66.19, 20; 116.1 The Lord has heard my supplication;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;

they shall turn back and in a moment be put to shame.
