Psalms 38
Intro: David moveth God to compassion. (A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.)
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 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink 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 distress; and no soundness is found in my flesh.
8 I am feeble, and broken, and very sore. I have wept by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
