The King James Version Bible

Psalms 38:1-10

  1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

  2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

  3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

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

  5. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

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

  7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

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

  9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

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