Psalms 38

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me sore.

2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

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

4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.

7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.

8 I am feeble and sore broken; I roar by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee.

9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.

11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.

12 Those that seek after my life lay snares for me, and those that seek my hurt speak calamities and imagine deceits all the day long.

12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

13 But I, as a deaf man, that heard not, and as a dumb man that did not open his mouth.

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

14 Thus I was as a man that does not hear, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 For thee, O LORD, do I wait; thou wilt respond, O Lord my God.

15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me; let them not magnify themselves against me when my foot slips.

16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18 Therefore I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19 For my enemies are alive, and they are strong, and those that hate me wrongfully are multiplied;

19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 rendering evil for good they are against me because I follow that which is good.

20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.

21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.

22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
