Don’t rebuke me angrily or discipline me in your wrath.
Please be gracious as I languish. Heal me from the fear of death.
—–
Bring a steadfast loving rescue from the gates of hell that loom.
If I die, I won’t remember. I can’t praise you in that gloom.
—–
I am weary with this moaning and these tears that flood my bed.
In my grief I’m blind and lose the strength that I once thought I had.
—–
Go away, you evildoers. God has heard my crying voice.
I’m accepted, with my weakness. God has made a sov’reign choice.
