Chapter 38

1


 

  Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.  

 

 

-

2


 

  For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.  

 

 

-

3


 

  There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.  

 

 

-

5


 

  My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.  

 

 

-

6


 

  I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all the day long.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For my loins are filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.  

 

 

-

8


 

  I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.  

 

 

-

10


 

  My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.  

 

 

-

11


 

  My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand afar off.  

 

 

-

12


 

  They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.  

 

 

-

13


 

  But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.  

 

 

-

15


 

  For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.  

 

 

-

16


 

  For I said, 'Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.'  

 

 

-

17


 

  For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.  

 

 

-

18


 

  For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.  

 

 

-

19


 

  But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.  

 

 

-

20


 

  They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Don't forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don't be far from me.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation. Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.
