Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.38
[1] O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me
in thy hot displeasure.
[2] For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand
presseth me sore.
[3] There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine
anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my
sin.
[4] For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an
heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
[5] My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my
foolishness.
[6] I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning
all the day long.
[7] For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and
there is no soundness in my flesh.
[8] I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason
of the disquietness of my heart.
[9] Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is
not hid from thee.
[10] My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the
light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
[11] My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore;
and my kinsmen stand afar off.
[12] They also that seek after my life lay snares for me:
and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine
deceits all the day long.
[13] But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb
man that openeth not his mouth.
[14] Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose
mouth are no reproofs.
[15] For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O
Lord my God.
[16] For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should
rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves
against me.
[17] For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually
before me.
[18] For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for
my sin.
[19] But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and
they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
[20] They also that render evil for good are mine
adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
[21] Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from
me.
[22] Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
