PSAL. XXXVIII.

[1]

In thy great indignation,

O Lord, rebuke me not:
Nor on me lay thy chastning hand,
in thy displeasure hot.

2

For in me fast thine arrows stick,

thine hand doth presse me sore.

3

And in my flesh there is no health

nor soundnesse any more.
This grief I have, because thy wrath
is forth against me gone:
And in my bones there is no rest,
for sin that I have done.

4

Because, gone up above mine head

my great transgressions be:
And, as a weightie burden, they
too heavy are for me.

5

My wounds do stink, and are corrupt:

my folly makes it so:

6

I troubled am, & much bow'd down;

all day I mourning go.

7

For a disease that loathsome is,

so fills my loins with pain,
That in my weak and wearie flesh
no soundnesse doth remain.

8

So feeble and infirm am I,

and broken am so sore;
That through disquiet of my heart,
I have been made to roare.

9

O Lord, all that I do desire,

is stil before thine eye:
And of my heart the secret groans
not hidden are from thee.

10

My heart doth pant uncessantly,

my strength doth quite decay:
As for mine eyes, their wonted sight
is from me gone away.

11

My lovers and my friends do stand

at distance from my sore:
And those do stand aloof, that were
kinsmen, and kind before.

12

Yea, they that seek my life, lay snares:

who seek to do me wrong
Speak things mischievous, & deceits
imagine all day long.

13

But, as one deaf, that heareth not,

I suffered all to passe:
I as a dumb man did become,
whose mouth not op'ned was.

14

As one that hears not, in whose mouth

are no reproofs at all.

15

For, Lord, I hope in thee, my God,

thou'lt hear me when I call

16

For I said hear me lest they should

rejoyce ov'r me, with pride:
And ov'r me magnifie themselves,
when as my foot doth slide.

17

For, I am near to halt, my grief

is stil before mine eye.

18

For I'le declare my sin; and grieve



for mine iniquity.

19

But yet mine enemies lively are,

and strong are they beside:
And, they that hate me wrongfully,
are greatly multipli'de

20

And, they for good that render ill,

as enemies me withstood:
Yea, ev'n for this, because that I
do follow what is good.

21

Forsake me not, O Lord: my God,

far from me never be.

22

O Lord, thou my salvation art,

haste to give help to me.
