Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 38

38:1  <> O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

38:2  For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me sore.

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.

38:4  For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

38:5  My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

38:6  I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

38:7  For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease], and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

38:8  I am feeble and sore broken; I roar by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

38:9  Lord, all my desire [is] before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee.

38:10  My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

38:11  My friends and my companions stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

38:12  Those that seek after my life lay snares [for me], and those that seek my hurt speak calamities and imagine deceits all the day long.

38:13  But I, as a deaf [man, that] heard not, and as a dumb man [that] did not open his mouth.

38:14  Thus I was as a man that does not hear, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

38:15  For thee, O LORD, do I wait; thou wilt respond, O Lord my God.

38:16  For I said, Let them not rejoice over me; let them not magnify [themselves] against me when my foot slips.

38:17  For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

38:18  Therefore I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

38:19  For my enemies [are] alive, [and] they are strong, and those that hate me wrongfully are multiplied;

38:20  rendering evil for good they are against me because I follow [that which is] good.

38:21  Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.

38:22  Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.:
