Psalms 38:1

Psalm 38:1 In-Context

1 A psalm of David, serving as a reminder: ADONAI, don't rebuke me when you are angry or discipline me when you are enraged,

2 for your arrows penetrate me deeply, and your hand is pressing me down.

3 Your indignation left no part of me intact; my sin made my whole body sick;

4 for my iniquities loom high over my head as a heavy burden, too heavy for me.

5 I have stinking, festering wounds because of my foolishness.
