nkjv Psalms:38 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O LORD ,
do not rebuke me in Your wrath ,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure !
*
For Your arrows pierce me deeply ,
And Your hand presses me down .
*
There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger ,
Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin .
*
For my iniquities have gone over my head ;
Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me .
*
My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness .
*
I am troubled ,
I am bowed down greatly ;
I go mourning all the day long .
*
For my loins are full of inflammation ,
And there is no soundness in my flesh .
*
I am feeble and severely broken ;
I groan because of the turmoil of my heart .
*
Lord ,
all my desire is before You ;
And my sighing is not hidden from You .
*
My heart pants ,
my strength fails me ;
As for the light of my eyes ,
it also has gone from me .
*
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague ,
And my relatives stand afar off .
*
Those also who seek my life lay snares for me ;
Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction ,
And plan deception all the day long .
*
But I ,
like a deaf man ,
do not hear ;
And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth .
*
Thus I am like a man who does not hear ,
And in whose mouth is no response .
*
For in You ,
O LORD ,
I hope ;
You will hear ,
O Lord my God .
*
For I said , "
Hear me ,
lest they rejoice over me ,
Lest ,
when my foot slips ,
they exalt themselves against me ."
*
For I am ready to fall ,
And my sorrow is continually before me .
*
For I will declare my iniquity ;
I will be in anguish over my sin .
*
But my enemies are vigorous ,
and they are strong ;
And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied .
*
Those also who render evil for good ,
They are my adversaries ,
because I follow what is good .
*
Do not forsake me ,
O LORD ;
O my God ,
be not far from me !
*
Make haste to help me ,
O Lord ,
my salvation !
