Psalms 38:1-10

Thomson(i) 1 A Psalm for remembrance, respecting rest. Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath; nor chasten me in thine anger. 2 For in me thy shafts are deeply fixed; and on me thou hast heavily laid thy hand. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; no rest to my bones, because of my sins. 4 Because mine iniquities mounted above my head; like a heavy burden they were heavy on me. 5 The Wounds, on account of my folly putrefied and became corrupt. 6 I was in misery and wholly bent down: all the longsome day I went mourning. 7 For my soul was filled with illusions; and there was no soundness in my flesh. 8 I was afflicted and exceedingly depressed: I roared because of the groans of my heart. 9 Now all my desire was before thee, and my groans were not hid from thee. 10 My heart panted, my strength failed me: and the light of mine eyes is no more with me.
