Psa. 38
:1
38:1
1aO Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your indignation,
Nor chasten me in Your burning wrath.
Psa. 38
:2
38:2
For Your arrows have sunk deep in me,
And Your hand has come down heavy upon me.
Psa. 38
:3
38:3
There is no soundness in my flesh due to Your indignation;
There is no wholeness in my bones due to my sin.
Psa. 38
:4
38:4
For my iniquities have passed over my head;
Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Psa. 38
:5
38:5
My wounds are odious and festering
Due to my foolishness.
Psa. 38
:6
38:6
I am bent down and bowed utterly;
I go about all day long mourning.
Psa. 38
:7
38:7
For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
Psa. 38
:8
38:8
I am benumbed and crushed utterly;
I cry out due to the
1groaning of my heart.
Psa. 38
:9
38:9
O Lord, all my desire is before You,
And my groaning is not hidden from You.
Psa. 38
:10
38:10
My heart throbs; my strength fails me;
And as for the light of my eyes, neither is it with me.
Psa. 38
:11
38:11
Those who love me and
those who are my friends stand aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand
afar away.
Psa. 38
:12
38:12
And those who seek my soul lay traps
for me,
And those who pursue my misfortune speak of destruction,
And they contemplate deceit all day long.
Psa. 38
:13
38:13
But I, like a deaf man, cannot hear;
And
I am like a dumb man, who cannot open his
amouth.
Psa. 38
:14
38:14
Indeed I am like a man who does not hear
And in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
Psa. 38
:15
38:15
For in You, O Jehovah, do I hope;
You will respond, O Lord my God.
Psa. 38
:16
38:16
For I said, May they never rejoice over me!
When my foot slips, they magnify themselves over me.
Psa. 38
:17
38:17
For I am ready to stumble,
And my pain is before me continually.
Psa. 38
:18
38:18
For I declare my iniquity;
I am anxious because of my sin.
Psa. 38
:19
38:19
But my enemies are vigorous; they are strong;
And those who wrongly hate me are many.
Psa. 38
:20
38:20
Those also who repay evil for good
Are my adversaries because I pursue what is good.
Psa. 38
:21
38:21
Do not abandon me, O Jehovah;
O my God, do not be far away from me.
Psa. 38
:22
38:22
Hasten to help me,
O Lord, my
asalvation.
