YLT Psalms 38 Chapter
38:1
A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
38:2
For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
38:3
Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
38:4
For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.
38:5
Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
38:6
I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
38:7
For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
38:8
I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
38:9
Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
38:10
My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
38:11
My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
38:12
And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.
38:13
And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
38:14
Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
38:15
Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
38:16
When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
38:17
For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.
38:18
For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
38:19
And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
38:20
And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
38:21
Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
38:22
Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
