Psalms 38

The Webster Bible WBT

1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.

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

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

5 My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

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

7 For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared 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 panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; 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 imagine deceits all the day long.

13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

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

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

19 But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; 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.

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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