38:1  (A psalm by David to be used when an offering is made.) When you are angry, Lord, please don't punish me or even correct me.
38:2  You shot me with your arrows, and you struck me with your hand.
38:3  My body hurts all over because of your anger. Even my bones are in pain, and my sins
38:4  are so heavy that I am crushed.
38:5  Because of my foolishness, I am covered with sores that stink and spread.
38:6  My body is twisted and bent, and I groan all day long.
38:7  Fever has my back in flames, and I hurt everywhere.
38:8  I am worn out and weak, moaning and in distress.
38:9  You, Lord, know every one of my deepest desires, and my noisy groans are no secret to you.
38:10  My heart is beating fast. I feel weak all over, and my eyes are red.
38:11  Because of my sickness, no friends or neighbors will come near me.
38:12  All who want me dead set traps to catch me, and those who want to harm and destroy me plan and plot all day.
38:13  I am not able to hear or speak a word;
38:14  I am completely deaf and can't make a sound.
38:15  I trust you, Lord God, and you will do something.
38:16  I said, “Don't let them laugh or brag when I slip and fall.”
38:17  I am about to collapse from constant pain.
38:18  I told you my sins, and I am sorry for them.
38:19  Many deadly and powerful enemies hate me,
38:20  and they repay evil for good because I try to do right.
38:21  You are the Lord God! Stay nearby and don't desert me.
38:22  You are the one who saves me. Please hurry and help.
