Psalm 38 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Psa 38:1A Psalm by David, for a memorial. LORD, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
Psa 38:2For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.
Psa 38:3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Psa 38:4For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Psa 38:5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
Psa 38:6I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
Psa 38:7For my loins are filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
Psa 38:8I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
Psa 38:9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
Psa 38:10My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
Psa 38:11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
Psa 38:12They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
Psa 38:13But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
Psa 38:14Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.
Psa 38:15For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
Psa 38:16For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
Psa 38:17For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
Psa 38:18For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
Psa 38:19But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Psa 38:20They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.
Psa 38:21Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, don't be far from me.
Psa 38:22Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
