2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled. 3My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O 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 I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
