Original text and translations
{{Text|English| O Lord, rebuke me not in thine indignation: neither chasten me in thy heavy displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O God, for I am weak: O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed. My soul also is sore troubled: but, Lord, how long wilt thou punish me? Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake. For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the pit? I am weary of my groaning: every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears. My beauty is gone for very trouble: and worn away because of all mine enemies.
