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