Psalms 38

1 A Psalm. Of David. To keep in memory. O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

A psalm of David to make remembrance. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and in wrath your may you chasten me.

2 For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.

For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.

3 My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.

There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.

4 For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.

For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.

5 My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.

They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.

6 I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.

I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.

7 For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.

For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.

8 I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.

I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.

9 Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.

O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.

10 My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.

Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.

11 My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.

Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.

12 Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.

And they set traps - [those who] seek life my and [those who] seek harm my they have spoken destruction and deceit all the day they devise.

13 But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.

And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.

14 So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.

And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.

15 In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.

For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.

16 I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.

For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.

17 My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.

For I for stumbling [am] prepared and pain my [is] before me continually.

18 I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.

For iniquity my I tell I am anxious from sin my.

19 But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.

And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.

20 They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.

And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.

21 Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.

22 Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.

Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
