King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 38
1
A psalm of David, to make memorial.
2
O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your wrath.
3
For your arrows are directed at me, and your hand rests upon me.
4
There is no completeness in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
5
For my sins have gone over my head; they are like a heavy burden; they are too heavy for me.
6
They caused to stink; they decayed my companions in the presence of my folly.
7
I have been troubled; I have sinned greatly; all day long I have walked in darkness.
8
For my folly has become full, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
9
I have become exhausted and crushed to the point that I have shouted from the groaning of my heart.
10
O Lord, all my desires are before You, and my sighing is not hidden from You.
11
My heart is troubled; my strength has forsaken me, and the light of my eyes has also gone from me.
12
My loved ones and my friends stand opposite me; those who are near have stood far away.
13
And those seeking my life conspired, and those desiring my harm spoke lies and deceit; all day they meditate.
14
But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
15
And I was like a man who does not hear, and in my mouth are no rebukes.
16
For to You, O Lord, I have hoped; You will answer, O my Lord, my God.
17
For I said, "Lest they rejoice over me, when my foot slips; they have magnified themselves against me."
18
For I am to be a rock that is right and my pain is always before me.
19
For my sin I will declare; I will be distressed because of my transgression.
20
But my enemies are mighty, and many are my false haters.
21
And those who repay evil for good will be against me; they pursue me for good.
22
Do not forsake me, O Lord my God; do not be far from me.
