6

Lord, don’t rebuke me in Your anger
Or discipline me in Your wrath, the Holy
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint
Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony

My soul is in deep anguish
How long, Lord, how long?
Turn, Lord, and deliver me
Save me because of your unfailing love

Among the dead no one proclaims Your name
Who praises You from the grave?
I am worn out from my groaning
But still standing due to laws You gave

All night long I flood my bed with weeping
And drench my couch with tears
My eyes grow weak with sorrow
They fail because of all my foes I collected for years

Away from me, all you who do evil
For the Lord has heard my weeping
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy
The Lord accepts my prayer and the problems I’m in

All my enemies will be overwhelmed
With shame and anguish and fear
They will turn back and suddenly be put to shame
The moment I’ve been waiting for years
