chapter_Psalm_38
Psalm 38:1: A Psalm of David, 'To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me. Psalm 38:2: For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand. Psalm 38:3: Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin. Psalm 38:4: For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden &#8212; too heavy for me. Psalm 38:5: Stunk &#8212; become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly. Psalm 38:6: I have been bent down, I have been bowed down &#8212; unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning. Psalm 38:7: For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh. Psalm 38:8: I have been feeble and smitten &#8212; unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart. Psalm 38:9: Lord, before Thee is all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid. Psalm 38:10: My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me. Psalm 38:11: My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood. Psalm 38:12: And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day. Psalm 38:13: And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth. Psalm 38:14: Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs. Psalm 38:15: Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God. Psalm 38:16: When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves. Psalm 38:17: For I am ready to halt, And my pain is before me continually. Psalm 38:18: For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin. Psalm 38:19: And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied. Psalm 38:20: And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good. Psalm 38:21: Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me, Psalm 38:22: Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
