Psalms 38
(Psalm 6:1–10)
A Psalm of David, for remembrance.
1O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your angeror discipline me in Your wrath.2For Your arrows have pierced me deeply,and Your hand has pressed down on me.3There is no soundness in my bodybecause of Your anger;there is no rest in my bonesbecause of my sin.4For my iniquities have overwhelmed me;they are a burden too heavy to bear.5My wounds are foul and festeringbecause of my sinful folly.6I am bent and brought low;all day long I go about mourning.7For my loins are full of burning pain,and no soundness remains in my body.8I am numb and badly crushed;I groan in anguish of heart.
9O Lord, my every desire is before You;my groaning is not hidden from You.10My heart pounds, my strength fails,and even the light of my eyes has faded.11My beloved and friends shun my disease,and my kinsmen stand at a distance.12Those who seek my life lay snares;those who wish me harm speak destruction,plotting deceit all day long.
13But like a deaf man, I do not hear;and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.14I am like a man who cannot hear,whose mouth offers no reply.15I wait for You, O LORD;You will answer, O Lord my God.16For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”
