Psalms 38
The Sinner's Sorrow and Repentance; Turning to God for Forgiveness and Salvation
1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 For your arrows have sunk deep into me, and your hand has fallen upon me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger, nor is there any peace in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; they are like a heavy burden for me to bear.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my folly.
6 I am bowed down, I am very low; I go about mourning all the day long.
7 For my sides are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am weak and very broken; I have roared because of the disquietude of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning is not hidden from you.
10 My heart is in turmoil, my strength fails me; even the light of my eyes has gone from me.
11 My friends and my close ones have turned away from my suffering, and my relatives have stood far away.
12 Those who seek my life lay a trap, and those who seek my harm speak evil, and devise deceit all day long.
13 But I, like a deaf man, did not hear, and like a mute man, did not open my mouth.
14 So I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth is rebuke.
15 For in you, O Lord, I wait; you, O Lord my God, will hear me.
16 For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me."
17 For I am ready to limp; my pain is continually before me.
18 For I will confess my iniquity; I will grieve because of my sin.
19 But my enemies are alive and strong, and those who hate me without cause magnify themselves.
20 Those who repay evil for good are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
21 Do not forsake me, O Lord my God; do not be far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
