058) Psalm 38

Psalm 38 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

8.8.8.8

1 LORD, in thy wrath rebuke me not: nor in thy hot rage chasten me.

2 Because thine hand doth press me sore, and in me thy shafts fastened be.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because thine anger I am in; nor is there any rest within my bones by reason of my sin.

4 Because that mine iniquities ascended are above my head: like as an heavy burden they to heavy upon me are laid.

5 My wounds stink and corrupt they be my foolishness doth make it so.

6 I troubled am; and much bow’d down; all the day long I mourning go.

7 For with foul sores my loins are fill’d: and in my flesh is no soundness.

8 I’m weak and broken sore: I roar’d because of my heart’s restlessness.

9 All my desire’s before thee, Lord; nor is my groaning hid from thee.

10 My heart doth pant, my strength me fails: and mine eyesight is gone from me.
