Psalm 38

Psalm 38:1-22

38
Chapter 38
A psalm. Of David. For remembrance. 1 Do not rebuke me in your anger, LORD, and do not discipline me in your wrath. 2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down upon me. 3 There is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace in my bones because of my sin. 4 For my iniquities have passed over my head; they are too heavy for me to bear. 5 My wounds stink and fester because of my iniquities. They have gone over my head; they are like a heavy burden; they weigh heavily upon me. 6 I am bent over; I am bowed down greatly; I go about mourning all day long. 7 For my loins are filled with scorn, and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 For my loins are filled with burnings, and there is no matim in my flesh. 9 Lord, before you all my desire is not hidden, and my groaning from you is not hidden. 10 My heart whirls; my strength has forsaken me, and the light of my eyes—they too are not with me. 11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; my close ones stand at a distance. 12 And they lay snares—those seeking my life and those seeking my evil. They speak ruin and deceptions all the day; they mutter. 13 But like a deaf man, I will not hear, and like a mute man, I will not open my mouth. 14 And I am like a deaf man who does not hear, and there are no rebukes in my mouth. 15 For in you, LORD, I have hoped; you will answer, Lord my God. 16 For I said, "Lest they rejoice over me when my foot slips; they magnify themselves against me." 17 For I am ready for a limp, and my pain is continually before me. 18 For I will declare my iniquity; I am weary of my groaning all day long. 19 But my enemies live, and my numerous haters lie in wait. 20 Enemies of life without cause have multiplied, my haters of falsehood. Instead of good they hate me, instead of my pursuers of good. 21 Do not forsake me, LORD my God; do not be far from me. 22 Do not abandon me, LORD my God. Do not be far from me.
