Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint.

LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

For in death there is no memory of you.

In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

6

I am weary with my groaning.

Every night I flood my bed.

I drench my couch with my tears.

7

My eye wastes away because of grief.

It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,

for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
