Psalms 38
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.🔗🔍
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.🔗🔍
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.🔗🔍
4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.🔗🔍
5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.🔗🔍
6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.🔗🔍
7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.🔗🔍
8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.🔗🔍
9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.🔗🔍
10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.🔗🔍
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.🔗🔍
12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.🔗🔍
13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.🔗🔍
14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.🔗🔍
15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.🔗🔍
16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.🔗🔍
17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.🔗🔍
18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.🔗🔍
19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.🔗🔍
20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.🔗🔍
21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.🔗🔍
22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.🔗🔍
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.🔗🔍
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.🔗🔍
