Psalm 38:1{A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.} O LORD,3068 rebuke3198 me not in thy wrath:7110 neither chasten3256 me in thy hot displeasure.25342 For thine arrows2671 stick fast5181 in me, and thy hand3027 presseth me sore.51813Thereis no soundness4974 in my flesh1320 because6440 of thine anger;2195 neither isthereany rest7965{Heb. peace, or health} in my bones6106 because6440 of my sin.24034 For mine iniquities5771 are gone over5674 mine head:7218 as an heavy3515 burden4853 they are too heavy3513 for me.
5 My wounds2250 stink887and are corrupt4743 because6440 of my foolishness.2006 I am troubled;5753{Heb. worried} I am bowed down7817 greatly;3966 I go1980 mourning6937 all the day3117 long.
7 For my loins3689 are filled4390 with a loathsome7033disease: and thereis no soundness4974 in my flesh.13208 I am feeble6313 and sore3966 broken:1794 I have roared7580 by reason of the disquietness5100 of my heart.38209 Lord,136 all my desire8378is before thee; and my groaning585 is not hid5641 from thee.
10 My heart3820 panteth,5503 my strength3581 faileth5800 me: as for the light216 of mine eyes,5869 it1992 also is gone369 from me.{Heb. is not with me}11 My lovers157 and my friends7453 stand5975 aloof from5048 my sore;5061{Heb. stroke} and my kinsmen7138{Or, my neighbors} stand5975 afar off.735012 They also that seek1245 after my life5315 lay snares5367forme: and they that seek1875 my hurt7451 speak1696 mischievous things,1942 and imagine1897 deceits4820 all the day3117 long.
13 But I, as a deaf2795man, heard8085 not; and Iwas as a dumb man483that openeth6605 not his mouth.631014 Thus I was as a man376 that heareth8085 not, and in whose mouth6310are no reproofs.843315 For in thee,{Or, thee do I wait for} O LORD,3068 do I hope:3176 thou wilt hear,6030{Or, answer} O Lord136 my God.43016 For I said,559Hearme, lest otherwise they should rejoice8055 over me: when my foot7272 slippeth,4131 they magnify1431themselves against me.
17 For I am ready3559 to halt,6761{Heb. for halting} and my sorrow4341is continually8548 before me.
18 For I will declare5046 mine iniquity;5771 I will be sorry1672 for my sin.240319 But mine enemies341are lively,2416{Heb. being living, are strong}and they are strong:6105 and they that hate8130 me wrongfully8267 are multiplied.723120 They also that render7999 evil7451 for good2896 are mine adversaries;7853 because I follow7291thethingthat good2896is.21 Forsake5800 me not, O LORD:3068 O my God,430 be not far7368 from me.
22 Make haste2363 to help5833 me, O Lord136 my salvation.8668
