Psalms 38:1-9 ▼

1 A psalm of David to bring remembrance. ”8224; LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has pressed down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my body because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.

5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.

6 I am bent over and brought very low; all day long I go around in mourning.

7 For my insides are full of burning pain, and there is no soundness in my body.

8 I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

9 Lord, my every desire is in front of you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
