Psalms 38

(Psalm 6:1–10)

1O LORDH3068, do notH408 rebuke meH3198 in Your angerH7110or discipline meH3256 in Your wrathH2534.2ForH3588 Your arrowsH2671 have pierced me deeplyH5181,and Your handH3027 has pressed downH5181 on meH5921.

3There is noH369 soundnessH4974 in my bodyH1320because ofH6440 Your angerH2195;there is noH369 restH7965 in my bonesH6106because ofH6440 my sinH2403.4ForH3588 my iniquitiesH5771 have overwhelmedH5674 meH7218;they are a burdenH4853 too heavyH3515 to bearH3513 H4480.5My woundsH2250 are foulH887 and festeringH4743because ofH6440 my sinful follyH200.6I am bentH5753 and brought lowH7817 H5704 H3966;all day longH3605 H3117 I go aboutH1980 mourningH6937.7ForH3588 my loinsH3689 are full ofH4390 burning painH7033,and noH369 soundnessH4974 remains in my bodyH1320.8I am numbH6313 and badlyH5704 H3966 crushedH1794;I groanH7580 in anguishH5100 of heartH3820.

9O LordH136, my everyH3605 desireH8378 is before YouH5048;my groaningH585 is notH3808 hiddenH5641 from YouH4480.10My heartH3820 poundsH5503, my strengthH3581 failsH5800,and evenH1571 H1992 the lightH216 of my eyesH5869 has fadedH369 H854.11My belovedH157 and friendsH7453 shunH5975 H5048 my diseaseH5061,and my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 at a distanceH7350.12Those who seekH1245 my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367;those who wish meH1875 harmH7451 speakH1696 destructionH1942,plottingH1897 deceitH4820 allH3605 day longH3117.

13But like a deaf manH2795, IH589 do notH3808 hearH8085;and like a mute manH483, I do notH3808 openH6605 my mouthH6310.14I amH1961 like a manH376 whoH834 cannotH3808 hearH8085,whose mouthH6310 offers no replyH8433 H369.15 I waitH3176 for You, O LORDH3068;YouH859 will answerH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430.16ForH3588 I saidH559, “Let them notH6435 gloatH8055 over me—those who tauntH1431 meH5921 when my footH7272 slipsH4131.”

17ForH3588 IH589 am readyH3559 to fallH6761,and my painH4341 is everH8548 with meH5048.18YesH3588, I confessH5046 my iniquityH5771;I am troubledH1672 by my sinH2403.19Many are my enemiesH341 without causeH2416 H6105,1and manyH7231 hate meH8130 without reasonH8267.220Those who repayH7999 my goodH2896 withH8478 evilH7451attack meH7853 forH8478 pursuingH7291 the goodH2896.

21Do notH408 forsake meH5800, O LORDH3068;be notH408 farH7368 from meH4480, O my GodH430.22Come quicklyH2363 to help meH5833,O LordH136 my SaviorH8668.
