The Amplified Bible » Psalms » Chapter 38
1
O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2
For Your arrows have sunk into me and stick fast, and Your hand has come down upon me and pressed me sorely.
3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; neither is there any health or rest in my bones because of my sin.
4
For my iniquities have gone over my head [like waves of a flood]; as a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
5
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6
I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go about 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 sorely bruised [deadly cold and quite worn out]; I groan by reason of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.
9
Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You.
10
My heart throbs, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my neighbors and my near ones stand afar off. [Luke 23:49.]
12
They also that seek and demand my life lay snares for me, and they that seek and require my hurt speak crafty and mischievous things; they meditate treachery and deceit all the day long.
13
But I, like a deaf man, hear not; and I am like a dumb man who opens not his mouth.
14
Yes, I have become like a man who hears not, in whose mouth are no arguments or replies.
15
For in You, O Lord, do I hope; You will answer, O Lord my God.
16
For I pray, Let them not rejoice over me, who when my foot slips boast against me.
17
For I am ready to halt and fall; my pain and sorrow are continually before me.
18
For I do confess my guilt and iniquity; I am filled with sorrow for my sin. [II Cor. 7:9, 10.]
19
But my enemies are vigorous and strong, and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20
They also that render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21
Forsake me not, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me.
22
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my Salvation.
