Chapter 38

1


 

  A Psalm of David, 'To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.  

 

 

--

6


 

  I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.  

 

 

--

8


 

  I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.  

 

 

--

10


 

  My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.  

 

 

--

13


 

  And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.  

 

 

--

16


 

  When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.  

 

 

--

17


 

  For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.  

 

 

--

19


 

  And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.  

 

 

--

20


 

  And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,  

 

 

--

22


 

  Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!  

 

 

--
