Psalms 38

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1Jehovah, rebukemenotinthy wrath; neither chastenmeinthy hot displeasure.

2Forthine arrows stick fastinme,andthy hand cometh down uponme.

3Thereisno soundnessinmyfleshbecauseofthine indignation; no peaceinmybones,becauseofmysin.

4Formine iniquitiesaregoneovermyhead:asaheavy burdentheyaretoo heavyforme.

5Mywounds stink,theyarecorrupt,becauseofmyfoolishness.

6I am depressed; I am boweddownbeyond measure; I go mourning alltheday.

7Formyloinsarefullofburning,andthereisnosoundnessinmyflesh.

8Iam faintandbrokenbeyondmeasure;Iroarbyreasonoftheagitationofmyheart.

9Lord,allmydesireisbeforethee,andmysighingisnot hidfromthee.

10Myheart throbbeth,mystrength hathleftme;andthelightofmineeyes,italsoisnomoreH4480withme.

11Myloversandmine associates stand alooffrommystroke;andmykinsmen stand afar off.

12Andtheythatseekaftermylife lay snares [forme];andtheythatseekmyhurt speak mischievous things,andmeditate deceits allthedaylong.

13ButI,asadeaf [man], hearnot;andamasadumbmanthatopenethnothismouth.

14Yea,Iamasamanthathearethnot,andinwhosemouthH6310arenoreproofs.

15Forinthee, Jehovah,doIhope: thou wilt answer,OLordmyGod.

16ForIsaid, Letthemnotrejoiceoverme!Whenmyfoot slipped,theymagnified [themselves] againstme.

17ForIam readytohalt,andmypainiscontinuallybeforeme.

18ForIwilldeclare mine iniquity,Iamgrievedformysin.

19Butmine enemiesarelively,theyarestrong;andtheythathatemewrongfullyaremultiplied:

20Andthey that render evilforgood are adversaries untome; because I pursue whatisgood.

21Forsakemenot, Jehovah; OmyGod,benot farfromme.

22Make hastetohelpme,OLord,mysalvation.
