Psalms, Psalm 38

1 And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
2 O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath,
2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me,
And Your hand has pressed down on me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
5 Mya Or stripeswounds grow foul and fester
Because of my folly.
6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go mourning all day long.
7 For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am benumbed andb Or greatlybadly crushed;
Ic Lit roargroan because of thed Lit growlingagitation of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire ise Or known to Youbefore You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, evenf Lit they havethatg Lit is not with mehas gone from me.
11 Myh Or loversloved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me havei Lit spokenthreatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.
13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 For Ij Or wait forhope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”
17 For I am ready to fall,
And myk Lit painsorrow is continually before me.
18 For Il Or declareconfess my iniquity;
I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
19 But my enemies are vigorous andm Or numerousstrong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20 And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD;
O my God, do not be far from me!
22 Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
