| Psalms 38: (ASV) |
| 1) O Jehovah, 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 indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. |
| 4) For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. |
| 5) My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness. |
| 6) I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. |
| 7) For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh. |
| 8) I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned 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 throbbeth, 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 plague; 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 meditate deceits all the day long. |
| 13) But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. |
| 14) Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. |
| 15) For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. |
| 16) For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. |
| 17) For I am ready to fall, 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 are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
| 20) They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. |
| 21) Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me. |
| 22) Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. |
