Psa 38:1 |
¶ |
[[A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.]] O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:2 |
|
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:3 |
|
[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:4 |
|
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:5 |
|
My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:6 |
|
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:7 |
|
For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:8 |
|
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:9 |
|
Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:10 |
|
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:11 |
|
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:12 |
|
They 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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:13 |
|
But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:14 |
|
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:15 |
|
For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:16 |
|
For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:17 |
|
For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:18 |
|
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:19 |
|
But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:20 |
|
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:21 |
|
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 38:22 |
|
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
