Psalms Chapter 38 (NASB)
undefined
A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
undefined
For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.
undefined
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
undefined
For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
undefined
My wounds grow foul [and] fester Because of my folly.
undefined
I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.
undefined
For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
undefined
I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
undefined
Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
undefined
My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
undefined
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
undefined
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.
undefined
But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And [I am] like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
undefined
Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.
undefined
For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
undefined
For I said, 'May they not rejoice over me, [Who], when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.'
undefined
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
undefined
For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
undefined
But my enemies are vigorous [and] strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
undefined
And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
undefined
Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me!
undefined
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
