psalms 38

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