Psalms 38:1-9

1O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!

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

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

4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,

6I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.

7For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
