Psalm 38

Common English Bible CEB

1 Please, LORD, don't punish me when you are mad; don't discipline me when you are furious.

2 Your arrows have pierced me; your fist has come down hard on me.

3 There's nothing in my body that isn't broken because of your rage; there's no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 My wrongdoings are stacked higher than my head; they are a weight that's way too heavy for me.

5 My wounds reek; they are all infected because of my stupidity.

6 I am hunched over, completely down; I wander around all day long, sad.

7 My insides are burning up; there's nothing in my body that isn't broken.

8 I'm worn out, completely crushed; I groan because of my miserable heart.

9 Everything I long for is laid out before you, my Lord; my sighs aren't hidden from you.

10 My heart pounds; my strength abandons me. Even the light of my eyes is gone.

11 My loved ones and friends keep their distance from me in my sickness; those who were near me now stay far away.

12 Those who want me dead lay traps; those who want me harmed utter threats, muttering lies all day long.

13 But I'm like someone who is deaf, who can't hear; like someone who can't speak, whose mouth won't open.

14 I've become like a person who doesn't hear what is being said, whose mouth has no good comeback.

15 But I wait for you, LORD! You will answer, my Lord, my God!

16 Because I prayed: "Don't let them celebrate over me or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips,"

17 because I'm very close to falling, and my pain is always with me.

18 Yes, I confess my wrongdoing; I'm worried about my sin.

19 But my mortal enemies are so strong; those who hate me for no reason seem countless.

20 Those who give, repay good with evil; they oppose me for pursuing good.

21 Don't leave me all alone, LORD! Please, my God, don't be far from me!

22 Come quickly and help me, my Lord, my salvation!

English Standard Version ESV

1 O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!

2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no 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 stink and fester because of my foolishness,

6 I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.

7 For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

9 O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.

12 Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.

13 But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

14 I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.

15 But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.

16 For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips! ”

17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.

18 I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

19 But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20 Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me!

22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
