Psalms 38:1-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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

2. For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me down.

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

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

5. My wounds are foul 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 utterly broken: I have groaned by reason of the turmoil of my heart.

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

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

11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
