Psalm 38

Prayer of a Suffering Penitent.

¹O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

²For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

³There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

⁴For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

⁵My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

⁶I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

⁷For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.

⁸I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
