A Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble
To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth upon Shem´inith, A Psalm of David.

Ps 38.1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:
O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed:
but thou, O Lord, how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:
oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning;
all the night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief;
it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 #
Matt 7.23; Luke 13.27. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord hath heard my supplication;
the Lord will receive my prayer.
10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:
let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

A Prayer in Time of Trouble

Ps 38.1. Don't punish me, Lord,
or even correct me
when you are angry!
2Have pity on me and heal
my feeble body.
My bones tremble with fear,
3and I am in deep distress.
How long will it be?
4Turn and come to my rescue.
Show your wonderful love
and save me, Lord.
5If I die, I cannot praise you
or even remember you.
6My groaning has worn me out.
At night my bed and pillow
are soaked with tears.
7Sorrow has made my eyes dim,
and my sight has failed
because of my enemies.
8 #
Mt 7.23; Lk 13.27. You, Lord, heard my crying,
and those hateful people
had better leave me alone.
9You have answered my prayer
and my plea for mercy.
10My enemies will be ashamed
and terrified,
as they quickly run away
in complete disgrace.
