Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 38
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.Psa 6:1; Jer 10:24
For thine arrows stick fast in me,
And thy hand presseth me sore.Deu 32:23; Job 6:4
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;
Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head:
As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.Psa 32:4; Ezk 33:10
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
Because of my foolishness.
I am pained and bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.Psa 42:9
For my loins are filled with burning;
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
I am faint and sore bruised:
I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
Lord, all my desire is before thee;
And my groaning is not hid from thee.
My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.Job 19:13; Job 30:10; Psa 31:11
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;
And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And meditate deceits all the day long.
But I, as a deaf man, hear not;
And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.Isa 53:7; Mat 27:12; Act 8:32
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,
And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:
Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:
When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
For I will declare mine iniquity;
I will be sorry for my sin.Psa 32:5; 2Co 7:10
But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;
And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
They also that render evil for good
Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.Psa 109:5
Forsake me not, O Jehovah:
O my God, be not far from me.
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation.
