Psalms 38:1-10

1 A Davidic psalm for remembrance. ^a

Lord, do not punish me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath. ^b
2 For Your arrows have sunk into me,
and Your hand has pressed down on me. ^c

3 There is no health in my body
because of Your indignation;
there is no strength ^{▼▼Hb shalom} in my bones
because of my sin. ^e
4 For my sins have flooded over my head;
they are a burden too heavy for me to bear. ^f
5 My wounds are foul and festering
because of my foolishness. ^g
6 I am bent over and brought low;
all day long I go around in mourning. ^h
7 For my loins are full of burning pain,
and there is no health in my body. ⁱ
8 I am faint and severely crushed;
I groan because of the anguish of my heart. ^j

9 Lord, my every desire is known to ^{▼▼Lit is in front of} You;
my sighing is not hidden from You. ^l
10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,
and even the light of my eyes has faded. ^{▼▼Or and the light of my eyes – even that is not with me
