Psalms 38:1-8

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 (38:1) A Psalm of David, to make memorial. (38:2) O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath. 2 (38:3) For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me. 3 (38:4) There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. 4 (38:5) For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 (38:6) My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness. 6 (38:7) I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day. 7 (38:8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 (38:9) I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
