1 To the overseer upon the stringed instruments upon the octave, chanting of David. O Jehovah, not in thine anger wilt thou correct me, and not in thy wrath wilt thou chastise me.
2 Compassionate me, O Jehovah, for I languish: heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones trembled.
3 My soul trembled exceedingly: and thou, O Jehovah, how long?
4 Turn back, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: save me for sake of thy mercy.
5 For in death none remembering thee: in hades who shall give thanks to thee?
