←Prev   Psalms 38 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


38:1  O Lord, rebuke me not in Thy wrath, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure!
38:2  For Thine arrows stick fast in me, and Thy hand presseth me sorely.
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.
38:4  For mine iniquities have gone over mine head; as a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
38:5  My wounds are foul and corrupt because of my foolishness.
38:6  I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
38:7  For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
38:8  I am feeble and sorely broken; I have groaned because of the disquiet of my heart.
38:9  Lord, all my desires are known to Thee; and my groaning is not hidden from Thee.
38:10  My heart panteth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11  My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12  They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and devise deceits all the day long.
38:13  But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
38:14  Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
38:15  For in Thee, O Lord, do I hope; Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
38:16  For I said, “Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.”
38:17  For I am ready for halting, and my sorrow is continually before me.
38:18  For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
38:19  But mine enemies are alive and they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20  They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries, because I follow the thing that is good.
38:21  Forsake me not, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me!
38:22  Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
