Psalm 38:9

9 Seigneur! tous mes désirs sont devant toi, Et mes soupirs ne te sont point cachés.

Psalm 38:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:9

Lord, all my desire [is] before thee
To be delivered from his afflictions, to have a discovery and application of pardoning grace, and to have communion with his God: the desire of his soul was unto these things; and it was some satisfaction to him that it was before the Lord, and known unto him, before whom all things are naked and open;

and my groaning is not hid from thee;
under the weight of his affliction, the burden of his sin, and which he expressed in prayer to the Lord, and which is often done with groanings which cannot be uttered: but even these are known and understood by the Lord.

Psalm 38:9 In-Context

7 Car un mal brûlant dévore mes entrailles, Et il n'y a rien de sain dans ma chair.

8 Je suis sans force, entièrement brisé; Le trouble de mon coeur m'arrache des gémissements.

9 Seigneur! tous mes désirs sont devant toi, Et mes soupirs ne te sont point cachés.

10 Mon coeur est agité, ma force m'abandonne, Et la lumière de mes yeux n'est plus même avec moi.

11 Mes amis et mes connaissances s'éloignent de ma plaie, Et mes proches se tiennent à l'écart.
