38:1  A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
38:2  For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
38:3  There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
38:4  For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
38:5  My wounds stink and are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
38:6  I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
38:7  For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
38:8  I am faint and sore bruised: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
38:9  Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
38:10  My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11  My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12  They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
38:13  But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
38:14  Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
38:15  For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
38:16  For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
38:17  For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
38:18  For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
38:19  But mine enemies are lively, and are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20  They also that render evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
38:21  Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
38:22  Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
