Psalms 38

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1O LORDH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thy wrathH7110: neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534. 2For thy arrowsH2671 stick fastH5181 in me, and thy handH3027 falleth heavy upon meH5181. 3There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thy angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403.1 4For my iniquitiesH5771 have gone overH5674 my headH7218: as an heavyH3515 burdenH4853 they are too heavyH3513 for me. 5My woundsH2250 stinkH887 and are corruptH4743 becauseH6440 of my foolishnessH200. 6I am troubledH5753; I am bowed downH7817 greatlyH3966; I goH1980 mourningH6937 all the dayH3117 long.2 7For my loinsH3689 are filledH4390 with a loathsomeH7033 disease : and there is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320. 8I am feebleH6313 and grievouslyH3966 brokenH1794: I have roaredH7580 by reason of the disquietnessH5100 of my heartH3820. 9LordH136, all my desireH8378 is before thee; and my groaningH585 is not hidH5641 from thee. 10My heartH3820 pantethH5503, my strengthH3581 failethH5800 me: as for the lightH216 of my eyesH5869, thatH1992 also is goneH369 from me.3 11My loversH157 and my friendsH7453 standH5975 aloof fromH5048 my afflictionH5061; and my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 afar offH7350.45

12They also that seekH1245 after my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367 for me : and they that seekH1875 my hurtH7451 speakH1696 mischievous thingsH1942, and imagineH1897 deceitsH4820 all the dayH3117 long. 13But I, as a deafH2795 man, heardH8085 not; and I was as a dumb manH483 that openethH6605 not his mouthH6310. 14Thus I was as a manH376 that hearethH8085 not, and in whose mouthH6310 are no reproofsH8433. 15For in thee, O LORDH3068, do I hopeH3176: thou wilt hearH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430.67 16For I saidH559, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoiceH8055 over me: when my footH7272 slippethH4131, they magnifyH1431 themselves against me. 17For I am readyH3559 to haltH6761, and my sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 before me.8 18For I will declareH5046 my iniquityH5771; I will be sorryH1672 for my sinH2403. 19But my enemiesH341 are livelyH2416, and they are strongH6105: and they that hateH8130 me wrongfullyH8267 are multipliedH7231.9 20They also that renderH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896 are my adversariesH7853; because I followH7291 the thing that is goodH2896. 21ForsakeH5800 me not, O LORDH3068: O my GodH430, be not farH7368 from me. 22Make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me, O LordH136 my salvationH8668.10
