Psalm 38 | King James Version
1A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, 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 anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease : and there is no soundness in my flesh.8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.12They 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.13But I, as a deaf man , heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.16For I said, Hear me , lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is .21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
New International Version
A psalm of David. A petition.
1Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.2Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.3Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.4My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.5My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.6I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.7My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.8I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.9All my longings lie open before you, Lord: my sighing is not hidden from you.10My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.11My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbours stay far away.12Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.13I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;14I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.15Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.16For I said, ‘Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.’17For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.18I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.19Many have become my enemies without cause*; those who hate me without reason are numerous.20Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.21Lord, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.22Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Saviour.
