Psalm 38 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 38:1

Psa 38:1A Psalm of David, 'To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Psa 38:2

Psa 38:2For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

Psa 38:3

Psa 38:3Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

Psa 38:4

Psa 38:4For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

Psa 38:5

Psa 38:5Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

Psa 38:6

Psa 38:6I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

Psa 38:7

Psa 38:7For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

Psa 38:8

Psa 38:8I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

Psa 38:9

Psa 38:9Lord, before Thee is all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

Psa 38:10

Psa 38:10My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

Psa 38:11

Psa 38:11My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

Psa 38:12

Psa 38:12And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

Psa 38:13

Psa 38:13And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

Psa 38:14

Psa 38:14Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

Psa 38:15

Psa 38:15Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.

Psa 38:16

Psa 38:16When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

Psa 38:17

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

Psa 38:18

Psa 38:18For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

Psa 38:19

Psa 38:19And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

Psa 38:20

Psa 38:20And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

Psa 38:21

Psa 38:21Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

Psa 38:22

Psa 38:22Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
