| # Chapter 38
#### 1 | A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O Jehovah, 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 indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
#### 4 | For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
#### 5 | My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
#### 6 | I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
#### 7 | For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.
#### 8 | I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
#### 9 | Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.
#### 10 | My heart throbbeth, 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 plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
#### 12 | They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.
#### 13 | But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
#### 14 | Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
#### 15 | For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
#### 16 | For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
#### 17 | For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
#### 18 | For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
#### 19 | But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
#### 20 | They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
#### 21 | Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me.
#### 22 | Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
