Psalm 38:3-13 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
3
Because of your wrath there is no health1 in my body; my bones2 have no soundness because of my sin.
4
My guilt has overwhelmed3 me like a burden too heavy to bear.4
5
My wounds5 fester and are loathsome6 because of my sinful folly.7
6
I am bowed down8 and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.9
7
My back is filled with searing pain;10 there is no health11 in my body.
8
I am feeble and utterly crushed;12 I groan13 in anguish of heart.14
9
All my longings15 lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing16 is not hidden from you.
10
My heart pounds,17 my strength fails18 me; even the light has gone from my eyes.19
11
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;20 my neighbors stay far away.
12
Those who seek my life set their traps,21 those who would harm me talk of my ruin;22 all day long they plot deception.23
13
I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear,24 like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
