Psalm 38
1
Psalm 38 A psalm of David. A petition.
1
O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2
For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
3
Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
4
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
5
My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
6
I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
7
My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8
I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9
All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10
My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12
Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
13
I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
14
I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15
I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
16
For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17
For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19
Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20
Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
21
O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
22
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
