Psalms 38:1-9

1Lord, 1do not rebuke me in Your wrath, And do not punish me in Your burning anger.2For Your 2arrows have sunk deep into me, And 3Your hand has pressed down on me.3There is 4no healthy part in my flesh 5because of Your indignation; There is no health 6in my bones because of my sin.4For my 7guilty deeds have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.5My 8wounds grow foul and fester Because of 9my foolishness.6I am bent over and 10greatly bowed down; I 11go in mourning all day long.7For my 12sides are filled with 13burning, And there is 14no healthy part in my flesh.8I feel 15faint and 16badly crushed; I 17 18groan because of the 19agitation of my heart.

9Lord, all 20my desire is 21before You; And my 22sighing is not hidden from You.
