Psalm 38 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

For Your arrows ^H2671 have pressed ^H5181 deep ^H5181 into me,

And Your hand ^H3027 has pressed ^H5181 down ^H5181 upon me.

There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 soundness ^H4974 in my flesh ^H1320 because ^H4480 H6440 of Your indignation ^H2195;

There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 health ^H7965 in my bones ^H6106 because ^H4480 H6440 of my sin ^H2403.

For my iniquities ^H5771 go ^H5674 over ^H5674 my head ^H7218;

As a heavy ^H3515 burden ^H4853 they weigh ^H3513 too ^H4480 much ^H3513 for me.

My [fn]wounds ^H2250 stink ^H887 and rot ^H4743

Because ^H4480 H6440 of my [fn]folly ^H200.

I am bent ^H5753 over and greatly ^H3966 bowed ^H7817 down ^H7817;

I go ^H1980 mourning ^H6937 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

For my loins ^H3689 are filled ^H4390 with burning ^H7033,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 soundness ^H4974 in my flesh ^H1320.

I am faint ^H6313 and [fn]badly ^H3966 crushed ^H1794;

I [fn]groan ^H7580 because ^H4480 of the [fn]agitation ^H5100 of my heart ^H3820.

Lord ^H136, all ^H3605 my desire ^H8378 is [fn]before ^H5048 You;

And my sighing ^H585 is not hidden ^H5641 from You.

My heart ^H3820 throbs ^H5503, my strength ^H3581 forsakes ^H5800 me;

And the light ^H216 of my eyes ^H5869, even ^H1571 [fn]that [fn]has ^H369 gone ^H369 from me.

My [fn]loved ^H157 ones and my friends ^H7453 stand ^H5975 aloof ^H4480 H5048 from my plague ^H5061;

And my kinsmen ^H7138 stand ^H5975 afar ^H7350 off ^H4480.

Those who search ^H1245 for my life ^H5315 lay ^H5367 snares ^H5367 for me;

And those who seek ^H1875 [fn]to do me evil ^H7451 have [fn]threatened ^H1696 destruction ^H1942,

And they meditate ^H1897 on deception ^H4820 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

But I, like a deaf ^H2795 man ^H2795, do not hear ^H8085;

And I am like a mute ^H483 man ^H483 who does not open ^H6605 his mouth ^H6310.

And I am like a man ^H376 who ^H834 does not hear ^H8085,

And in whose mouth ^H6310 are no ^H369 reproofs ^H8433.

For I [fn]wait ^H3176 on You, O Yahweh ^H3068;

You will answer ^H6030, O Lord ^H136 my God ^H430.

For I said ^H559, “Save, lest ^H6435 they be glad ^H8055 over me,

Who, when my foot ^H7272 stumbles ^H4131, magnify ^H1431 themselves against ^H5921 me.”

For I am ready ^H3559 to fall ^H6761,

And my [fn]sorrow ^H4341 is continually ^H8548 before ^H5048 me.

For I [fn]confess ^H5046 my iniquity ^H5771;

I am ^H1672 full ^H1672 of ^H1672 anxiety ^H1672 because ^H4480 of my sin ^H2403.

But my enemies ^H340 are vigorous ^H2416 and [fn]strong ^H6105,

And those who wrongfully ^H8267 hate ^H8130 me abound ^H7231.

And those who repay ^H7999 evil ^H7451 for good ^H2896,

They accuse ^H7853 me, for ^H8478 I pursue ^H7291 what ^H2896 is ^H2896 good ^H2896.

Do not forsake ^H5800 me, O Yahweh ^H3068;

O my God ^H430, do not be ^H7368 far ^H7368 from me!

Make ^H2363 haste ^H2363 to help ^H5833 me,

O Lord ^H136, my salvation ^H8668!
