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