Psalms 38

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

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

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

2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.

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

3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.

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

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.

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

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.

6 I am bent over, I am crushed; I mourn all day long.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.

7 I am burning with fever and I am near death.

7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.

8 I am worn out and utterly crushed; my heart is troubled, and I groan with pain.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

9 O Lord, you know what I long for; you hear all my groans.

9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart is pounding, my strength is gone, and my eyes have lost their brightness.

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.

11 My friends and neighbors will not come near me, because of my sores; even my family keeps away from me.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.

12 Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me.

12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

13 I am like the deaf and cannot hear, like the dumb and cannot speak.

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

14 I am like those who do not answer, because they cannot hear.

14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 But I trust in you, O Lord; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me.

15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

16 Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my downfall!

16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

17 I am about to fall and am in constant pain.

17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18 I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety.

18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19 My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason.

19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right.

20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Do not abandon me, O Lord; do not stay away, my God!

21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.

22 Help me now, O Lord my savior!

22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
