Psalm 38

Psalms 38:1: O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Psalms 38:2: For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. Psalms 38:3: There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. Psalms 38:4: For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. Psalms 38:5: My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. Psalms 38:6: I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. Psalms 38:7: For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. Psalms 38:8: I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. Psalms 38:9: Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. Psalms 38:10: My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. Psalms 38:11: My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. Psalms 38:12: They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. Psalms 38:13: But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Psalms 38:14: Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. Psalms 38:15: For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Psalms 38:16: For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. Psalms 38:17: For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. Psalms 38:18: For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psalms 38:19: But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. Psalms 38:20: They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. Psalms 38:21: Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Psalms 38:22: Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
