New King James Version

Psalms 38:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!

2. For Your arrows pierce me deeply,And Your hand presses me down.

3. There is no soundness in my fleshBecause of Your anger,Nor any health in my bonesBecause of my sin.

4. For my iniquities have gone over my head;Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5. My wounds are foul and festeringBecause of my foolishness.
