Psalms 38

1 Please, LORD, don't punish me when you are mad; don't discipline me when you are furious.

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

2 Your arrows have pierced me; your fist has come down hard on me.

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

3 There's nothing in my body that isn't broken because of your rage; there's no health 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 My wrongdoings are stacked higher than my head; they are a weight that's way too heavy for me.

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

5 My wounds reek; they are all infected because of my stupidity.

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

6 I am hunched over, completely down; I wander around all day long, sad.

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

7 My insides are burning up; there's nothing in my body that isn't broken.

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

8 I'm worn out, completely crushed; I groan because of my miserable heart.

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

9 Everything I long for is laid out before you, my Lord; my sighs aren't hidden from you.

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

10 My heart pounds; my strength abandons me. Even the light of my eyes is gone.

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

11 My loved ones and friends keep their distance from me in my sickness; those who were near me now stay far away.

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

12 Those who want me dead lay traps; those who want me harmed utter threats, muttering lies all 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'm like someone who is deaf, who can't hear; like someone who can't speak, whose mouth won't open.

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

14 I've become like a person who doesn't hear what is being said, whose mouth has no good comeback.

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

15 But I wait for you, LORD! You will answer, my Lord, my God!

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

16 Because I prayed: "Don't let them celebrate over me or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips,"

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

17 because I'm very close to falling, and my pain is always with me.

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

18 Yes, I confess my wrongdoing; I'm worried about my sin.

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

19 But my mortal enemies are so strong; those who hate me for no reason seem countless.

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

20 Those who give, repay good with evil; they oppose me for pursuing good.

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

21 Don't leave me all alone, LORD! Please, my God, don't be far from me!

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

22 Come quickly and help me, my Lord, my salvation!

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