Psa PsalmsPsaltaren, psalm Book of PsalmsPsaltaren, psalm 38

A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved], to bring to remembrance.

O LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) me not in youri wrath: neither chasten me in youri hot displeasure.

For youri arrows stick fast in me, and youri hand presses me sore.

[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of youri anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

For my loins (thigh and groin area; often used for the reproductive organs) are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], all my desire [is] before youi; and my groaning is not hid from youi.

My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof (at a distance, but within view) from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

They 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.

But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] opens not his mouth.

Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

For in youi, O LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], do I hope: youi will hear, O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] my God-Elohai [GOD].

For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify [themselves] against me.

For I [am] ready to lame (crippled in the feet), and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].

Forsake me not, O LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: O my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], be not far from me.

Make haste to help me, O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] my salvation.
