YOUNG\'S LITERAL TRANSLATION

38:1 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

38:2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

38:3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

38:4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

38:5 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

38:6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

38:7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

38:8 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

38:9 Lord, before Thee `is' all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

38:10 My heart `is' panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

38:11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

38:12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

38:13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

38:14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

38:15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.

38:16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

38:17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain `is' before me continually.

38:18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

38:19 And mine enemies `are' lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

38:20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

38:21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

38:22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
