Psalms 38:1-9

1O Lord, 1rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.2For Your 2arrows have sunk deep into me, And 3Your hand has pressed down on me.3There is 4no soundness in my flesh 5because of Your indignation; There is no health 6in my bones because of my sin.4For my 7iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.5My 8wounds grow foul and fester Because of 9my folly.6I am bent over and 10greatly bowed down; I 11go mourning all day long.7For my loins are filled with 12burning, And there is 13no soundness in my flesh.8I am 14benumbed and 15badly crushed; I 16 17groan because of the 18agitation of my heart.

9Lord, all 19my desire is 20before You; And my 21sighing is not hidden from You.
