Psalms 38:1-7

¹(38-1) A Psalm of David, to make memorial. (38-2) O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

²(38-3) For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.

³(38-4) There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

⁴(38-5) For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

⁵(38-6) My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.

⁶(38-7) I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.

⁷(38-8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
