Psa.|38:Title|-|A |a|Psalm of David, for remembrance
Psa.|38:1|-||1a|O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your indignation,Nor chasten me in Your burning wrath.
Psa.|38:2|-|For Your arrows have sunk deep in me,And Your hand has come down heavy upon me.
Psa.|38:3|-|There is no soundness in my flesh due to Your indignation;There is no wholeness in my bones due to my sin.
Psa.|38:4|-|For my iniquities have passed over my head;Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Psa.|38:5|-|My wounds are odious and festeringDue to my foolishness.
Psa.|38:6|-|I am bent down and bowed utterly;I go about all day long mourning.
Psa.|38:7|-|For my loins are filled with burning,And there is no soundness in my flesh.
Psa.|38:8|-|I am benumbed and crushed utterly;I cry out due to the |1|groaning of my heart.
Psa.|38:9|-|O Lord, all my desire is before You,And my groaning is not hidden from You.
Psa.|38:10|-|My heart throbs; my strength fails me;And as for the light of my eyes, neither is it with me.
Psa.|38:11|-|Those who love me and those who are my friends stand aloof from myplague,
And my relatives stand |a|far away.
Psa.|38:12|-|And those who seek my soul lay traps for me,And those who pursue my misfortune speak of destruction,
And they contemplate deceit all day long.
Psa.|38:13|-|But I, like a deaf man, cannot hear;And I am like a dumb man, who cannot open his |a|mouth.
Psa.|38:14|-|Indeed I am like a man who does not hearAnd in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
Psa.|38:15|-|For in You, O Jehovah, do I hope;You will respond, O Lord my God.
Psa.|38:16|-|For I said, May they never rejoice over me!When my foot slips, they magnify themselves over me.
Psa.|38:17|-|For I am ready to stumble,And my pain is before me continually.
Psa.|38:18|-|For I declare my iniquity;I am anxious because of my sin.
Psa.|38:19|-|But my enemies are vigorous; they are strong;And those who wrongly hate me are many.
Psa.|38:20|-|Those also who repay evil for goodAre my adversaries because I pursue what is good.
Psa.|38:21|-|Do not abandon me, O Jehovah;O my God, do not be far away from me.
Psa.|38:22|-|Hasten to help me,O Lord, my |a|salvation.
