Ps 38
1 
               O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
               2 
               For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
               3 
               There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any
                  health in my bones because of my sin.
                  
               4 
               For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for
                  me.
                  
               5 
               My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
               6 
               I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
               7 
               For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
               8 
               I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
               9 
               Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
               10 
               My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also
                  is gone from me.
                  
               11 
               My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar
                  off.
                  
               12 
               They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak
                  crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
                  
               13 
               But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
               14 
               Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
               15 
               For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
               16 
               For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves
                  against me.'
                  
               17 
               For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
               18 
               For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
               19 
               But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
               20 
               They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing
                  that is good.
                  
               21 
               Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
               22 
               Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
