Psalms 38-Recovery Version

【RCV】Psalms 38

1
O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your indignation, Nor chasten me in Your burning wrath.
2
For Your arrows have sunk deep in me, And Your hand has come down heavy upon me.
3
There is no soundness in my flesh due to Your indignation; There is no wholeness in my bones due to my sin.
4
For my iniquities have passed over my head; Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5
My wounds are odious and festering Due to my foolishness.
6
I am bent down and bowed utterly; I go about all day long mourning.
7
For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8
I am benumbed and crushed utterly; I cry out due to the groaning of my heart.
9
O Lord, all my desire is before You, And my groaning is not hidden from You.
10
My heart throbs; my strength fails me; And as for the light of my eyes, neither is it with me.
11
Those who love me and those who are my friends stand aloof from my plague, And my relatives stand far away.
12
And those who seek my soul lay traps for me, And those who pursue my misfortune speak of destruction, And they contemplate deceit all day long.
13
But I, like a deaf man, cannot hear; And I am like a dumb man, who cannot open his mouth.
14
Indeed I am like a man who does not hear And in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
15
For in You, O Jehovah, do I hope; You will respond, O Lord my God.
16
For I said, May they never rejoice over me! When my foot slips, they magnify themselves over me.
17
For I am ready to stumble, And my pain is before me continually.
18
For I declare my iniquity; I am anxious because of my sin.
19
But my enemies are vigorous; they are strong; And those who wrongly hate me are many.
20
Those also who repay evil for good Are my adversaries because I pursue what is good.
21
Do not abandon me, O Jehovah; O my God, do not be far away from me.
22
Hasten to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
