Psalms 38:1-9

1Lord, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has pressed down on me.

3There is no soundness in my body because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4For my iniquities have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.

5My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.

6I am bent over and brought very low; all day long I go around in mourning.

7For my insides are full of burning pain, and there is no soundness in my body.

8I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

9Lord, my every desire is in front of you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
