1. For the leader; with stringed instruments, “upon the eighth.”A psalm of David.
2. Do not reprove me in your anger, Lord,nor punish me in your wrath.
3. Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak;heal me, Lord, for my bones are shuddering.
4. My soul too is shuddering greatly—and you, Lord, how long…?
5. Turn back, Lord, rescue my soul;save me because of your mercy.
