1.9 KiB
Do Not Forsake Me, O LORD
Chapter 38
-
O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!
-
For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.
-
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
-
For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
-
My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,
-
I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.
-
For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
-
I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
-
O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
-
My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes--it also has gone from me.
-
My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.
-
Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.
-
But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
-
I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
-
But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
-
For I said, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!"
-
For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.
-
I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
-
But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
-
Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.
-
Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!
-
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
