Psm38:1 O Lord, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
Psm38:2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.
Psm38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
Psm38:4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
Psm38:5 My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly.
Psm38:6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.
Psm38:7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
Psm38:8 I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
Psm38:9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
Psm38:10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
Psm38:11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
Psm38:12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long.
Psm38:13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
Psm38:14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.
Psm38:15 For I hope in You, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God.
Psm38:16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me."
Psm38:17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
Psm38:18 For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
Psm38:19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
Psm38:20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
Psm38:21 Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me!
Psm38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
Psm38:23
