Psalm 38:9

Listen to Psalm 38:9
9 HERR, vor dir ist alle meine Begierde, und mein Seufzen ist dir nicht verborgen.

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 Denn meine Lenden verdorren ganz, und ist nichts Gesundes an meinem Leibe.
8 Es ist mir gar anders denn zuvor, und ich bin sehr zerstoßen. Ich heule vor Unruhe meines Herzens.
9 HERR, vor dir ist alle meine Begierde, und mein Seufzen ist dir nicht verborgen.
10 Mein Herz bebt, meine Kraft hat mich verlassen, und das Licht meiner Augen ist nicht bei mir.
11 Meine Lieben und Freunde treten zurück und scheuen meine Plage, und meine Nächsten stehen ferne.
