38Psalms 38

1O lord, rebuke me not in your wrath: neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.Select Psalms 38:1

2For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me sore.Select Psalms 38:2

3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.Select Psalms 38:3

4For my iniquities are gone over my head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.Select Psalms 38:4

5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.Select Psalms 38:5

6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.Select Psalms 38:6

7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.Select Psalms 38:7

8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.Select Psalms 38:8

9Lord, all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hid from you.Select Psalms 38:9

10My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.Select Psalms 38:10

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.Select Psalms 38:11

12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.Select Psalms 38:12

13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.Select Psalms 38:13

15For in you, O LORD, do I hope: you will hear, O Lord my God.Select Psalms 38:15

16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.Select Psalms 38:16

17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.Select Psalms 38:17

18For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.Select Psalms 38:18

19But my enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.Select Psalms 38:19

20They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.Select Psalms 38:20

21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.Select Psalms 38:21

22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.Select Psalms 38:22
