Psalms 38

1 A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.

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 weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.

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

3 For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.

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 transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.

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

5 My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.

6 I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance 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 soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.

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

8 I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

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

9 But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.

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

10 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with 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 friends and my neighbours drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.

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

12 While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

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, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not 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 And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

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

15 For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, O Lord my God.

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

16 For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

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

17 For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

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

18 For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

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

19 But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

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

20 They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.

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

21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.

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

22 Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
