Psalms 38

1 A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not punish me in your wrath.

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 pierce me, and your hand presses me down.

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

3 My whole body is sick because of your anger; there is no health 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 iniquities overwhelm me; they are a burden too heavy for me.

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

5 My wounds are infected and smell because of my foolish sins.

They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.

6 I am stooped over and humiliated every day; I go about mourning all day long.

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

7 For within me, I am filled with burning; 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 am numb and utterly crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

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

9 Lord, you understand my heart's deepest yearnings, and my groanings are not hidden from you.

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

10 My heart pounds, my strength fades, and my eyesight dims.

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 companions shun me because of my condition; my neighbors stand far off.

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

12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me. They who seek my harm speak destructive words and say deceitful words all day long.

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, I am like a deaf man and hear nothing; I am like a mute man who says nothing.

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

14 I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reply.

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

15 Surely I wait for you, Yahweh; you will answer, Lord my God.

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

16 I say this so that my enemies will not gloat over me. If my foot slips, they will do terrible things to me.

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

17 For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

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

18 I confess my guilt; I am concerned about my sin.

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

19 But my enemies are numerous; those who hate me wrongfully are many.

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

20 They repay me evil for good; they hurl accusations at me although I have pursued what is good.

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

21 Do not abandon me, Yahweh; my God, do not stay far away from me.

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

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

Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
