| # Chapter 38
#### 1 | Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
#### 2 | For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.
#### 3 | There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
#### 4 | For my iniquities have 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. There is no soundness in my flesh.
#### 8 | I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
#### 9 | Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
#### 10 | My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
#### 11 | My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand afar off.
#### 12 | They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
#### 13 | But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
#### 14 | Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.
#### 15 | For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
#### 16 | For I said, 'Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.'
#### 17 | For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
#### 18 | For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
#### 19 | But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
#### 20 | They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.
#### 21 | Don't forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don't be far from me.
#### 22 | Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation. Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.
