Psalms 38 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 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 day long. |
| 7. |
For my waist is 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 has also left me. |
| 11. |
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away. |
| 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. For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. |
