Psalm 38:1 In-Context

1 A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!

2 For Your arrows pierce me deeply, And Your hand presses me down.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger, Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness.
