Psalm 38 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

A Psalm of David,

⁎

Or, to make memorial

to bring to remembrance.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.1

2For thine arrows

Hebrew lighted on me.

stick fast in me,

And thy hand

⁎

Hebrew lighted on me.

presseth me sore.

3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;

Neither is there any

⁎

Or, rest

health in my bones because of my sin.

4For mine iniquities are gone over my head:

As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

Because of my foolishness.

6I am

⁎

Hebrew bent.

pained and bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

7For my loins are filled with burning;

And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8I am faint and sore bruised:

I have

Hebrew roared.

groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9Lord, all my desire is before thee;

And my groaning is not hid from thee.

10My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:

As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;

And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

And meditate deceits all the day long.

13But I, as a deaf man, hear not;

And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,

And in whose mouth are no

⁎

Or, arguments

reproofs.

15For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:

Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

16For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17For I am ready to fall,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18For I will declare mine iniquity;

I will be sorry for my sin.

19But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;

And they that hate me

⁎

Hebrew falsely.

wrongfully are multiplied.

20They also that render evil for good

Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

21Forsake me not, O Jehovah:

O my God, be not far from me.

22Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation.
