Psalms 38:7-13

⁷And now what is my expectation? is it not the Lord? and my ground of hope is with you. Pause.

⁸Deliver me from all my transgressions: you have made me a reproach to the foolish.

⁹I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for you are he that made me.

¹⁰Remove your scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of your hand.

¹¹You chasten man with rebukes for iniquity, and you make his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Pause.

¹²O Lord, listen to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers were.

¹³Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
