For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.

For the end, A Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your anger.

Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and You have brought upon me all Your billows. Pause.

I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.

Your wrath has passed over me; and Your terrors have greatly disquieted me.

Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; did you not meditate with a harsh spirit, to slay them with a wrathful spirit?

In a little wrath I turned away My face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.

Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgment; and not in wrath, lest You make us few [in number].

[This translation omits this verse.]

O Lord, I have heard Your report, and was afraid: I considered Your works, and was amazed: You shall be known between the two living creatures, You shall be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; You shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, You will in wrath remember mercy.

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the discipline of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are reproved;

It is for discipline [that] you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?

Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we respected [them]. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

Now no discipline seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, later it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those having been trained by it.

And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly, to destroy you; yet the Lord hearkened to me at this time also.
