38:1
O LORD, don't punish me in your anger! |
38:2
You have wounded me with your arrows; you have struck me down. |
38:3
Because of your anger, I am in great pain; my whole body is diseased because
of my sins. |
38:4
I am drowning in the flood of my sins; they are a burden too heavy to bear. |
38:5
Because I have been foolish, my sores stink and rot. |
38:6
I am bent over, I am crushed; I mourn all day long. |
38:7
I am burning with fever and I am near death. |
38:8
I am worn out and utterly crushed; my heart is troubled, and I groan with
pain. |
38:9
O Lord, you know what I long for; you hear all my groans. |
38:10
My heart is pounding, my strength is gone, and my eyes have lost their
brightness. |
38:11
My friends and neighbors will not come near me, because of my sores; even my
family keeps away from me. |
38:12
Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me
threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me. |
38:13
I am like the deaf and cannot hear, like the dumb and cannot speak. |
38:14
I am like those who do not answer, because they cannot hear. |
38:15
But I trust in you, O LORD; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me. |
38:16
Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my
downfall! |
38:17
I am about to fall and am in constant pain. |
38:18
I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety. |
38:19
My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason. |
38:20
Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right. |
38:21
Do not abandon me, O LORD; do not stay away, my God! |
38:22
Help me now, O Lord my savior! |
