Psalm 38 :: King James Version (KJV)

Psa 38:1

Psa 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.

Psa 38:2

Psa 38:2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

Psa 38:3

Psa 38:3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

Psa 38:4

Psa 38:4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Psa 38:5

Psa 38:5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

Psa 38:6

Psa 38:6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

Psa 38:7

Psa 38:7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

Psa 38:8

Psa 38:8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Psa 38:9

Psa 38:9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

Psa 38:10

Psa 38:10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

Psa 38:11

Psa 38:11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

Psa 38:12

Psa 38:12They 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.

Psa 38:13

Psa 38:13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Psa 38:14

Psa 38:14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

Psa 38:15

Psa 38:15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

Psa 38:16

Psa 38:16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

Psa 38:17

Psa 38:17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

Psa 38:18

Psa 38:18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

Psa 38:19

Psa 38:19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

Psa 38:20

Psa 38:20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Psa 38:21

Psa 38:21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

Psa 38:22

Psa 38:22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
