Psalms 38
1 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.
A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lord, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
2 For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.
For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.
3 There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.
There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.
4 For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.
For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.
5 They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.
My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.
6 I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.
I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.
7 For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.
For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
8 I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.
I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
9 O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.
Lord, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
10 Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.
Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.
11 Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.
My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.
12 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.
They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.
13 And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.
But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.
14 And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.
Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
15 For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.
For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.
16 For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.
For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.
17 For I for stumbling [am] prepared and pain my [is] before me continually.
Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.
18 For iniquity my I tell I am anxious from sin my.
When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,
19 And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.
Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.
20 And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.
They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I follow goodnesse.
21 May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.
Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.
22 Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lord, my saluation.
