Psalms - Chapter 38 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
  • 2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
  • 3. {cf15I There is} no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither {cf15I is there any} rest in my bones because of my sin.
  • 4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
  • 5. My wounds stink {cf15I and} are corrupt because of my foolishness.
  • 6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
  • 7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome {cf15I disease}: and {cf15I there is} no soundness in my flesh.
  • 8. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
  • 9. Lord, all my desire {cf15I is} before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
  • 10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
  • 11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
  • 12. They also that seek after my life lay snares {cf15I for me}: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
  • 13. But I, as a deaf {cf15I man}, heard not; and {cf15I I was} as a dumb man {cf15I that} openeth not his mouth.
  • 14. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth {cf15I are} no reproofs.
  • 15. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
  • 16. For I said, {cf15I Hear me}, lest {cf15I otherwise} they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify {cf15I themselves} against me.
  • 17. For I {cf15I am} ready to halt, and my sorrow {cf15I is} continually before me.
  • 18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
  • 19. But mine enemies {cf15I are} lively, {cf15I and} they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
  • 20. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow {cf15I the thing that} good {cf15I is}.
  • 21. Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
  • 22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
