Psalm Ps. 38. In this lament the singer lays his troubles before God, fully realizing that those troubles result from his own sin. The psalm describes anguish of body and mind, desertion by friends, and how the singer’s folly has made him vulnerable to enemies. The title associates the psalm with the “memorial offering” (see note on Lev. 2:1–3).
Ps. 38:1–8 The singer acknowledges that he deserves his anguish because of his sin (anger, wrath, v. 1; because of, vv. 3, 5, 8).
Ps. 38:9–14 The singer’s friends and companions stand aloof (v. 11), thus adding loneliness to helplessness (vv. 10–11). This leaves him vulnerable to those who seek his life (vv. 12–14).
Ps. 38:15–22 The singer shows true faith in confessing his sin (v. 18) and in calling the Lord his salvation (v. 22).
