Psalms 38:1 In-Context

1 O Lord, don't punish me in your anger!

2 You have wounded me with your arrows; you have struck me down.

3 Because of your anger, I am in great pain; my whole body is diseased because of my sins.

4 I am drowning in the flood of my sins; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

5 Because I have been foolish, my sores stink and rot.
