Psalms 38
1 Ref > Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Ref For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.
3 Ref There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Ref For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 Ref My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
6 Ref I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 Ref For my loins are filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ref I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Ref Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 Ref My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11 Ref My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12 Ref They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
13 Ref But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
14 Ref Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Ref For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 Ref For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17 Ref For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 Ref For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Ref But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Ref They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.
21 Ref Don't forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don't be far from me.
