Psalm 38:1 In-Context

1 Lord, don't correct me when you are angry. Don't punish me when you are burning with anger.

2 You have wounded me with your arrows. You have struck me with your hand.

3 Because of your anger, my whole body is sick. Because of my sin, I'm not healthy.

4 My guilt has become too much for me. It is a load too heavy to carry.

5 My wounds are ugly. They stink. I've been foolish. I have sinned.
