📖 Psalms 38
-
1
A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lorde, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
-
2
For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.
-
3
There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.
-
4
For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.
-
5
My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.
-
6
I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.
-
7
For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
-
8
I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
-
9
Lorde, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
-
10
Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.
-
11
My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.
-
12
They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.
-
13
But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.
-
14
Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
-
15
For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.
-
16
For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.
-
17
Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.
-
18
When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,
-
19
Then mine enemies are aliue & are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.
-
20
They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I followe goodnesse.
-
21
Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.
-
22
Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lorde, my saluation.
