Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger// Psalm 38:1–22
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath.
- PS 6:1[NOTE]SHEMINITH may mean on the eighth, maybe an eight string instrument or a low octave. Many musical words in the titles are now a mystery.
2Be merciful to me, O Yahweh, for I am frail;
heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are in agony.
3My soul is deeply distressed.
How long, O Yahweh, how long?
4Turn, O Yahweh, and deliver my soul;
save me because of Your loving devotion.
5For there is no mention of You in death;
who can praise You from Sheol?
6I am weary from groaning;
all night I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
7My eyes fail from grief;
they grow dim because of all my foes.
8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,
for Yahweh has heard my weeping.

9Yahweh has heard my cry for mercy;
Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
