Psalms 38:1-9 ▼

1 A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance. O Yahweh, reprove me not in Your wrath, And discipline me not in Your burning anger.

2 For Your arrows have pressed deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down upon me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities go over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

5 My wounds stink and rot Because of my folly.

6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.

7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am faint and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
