Глава 38

1. ¶ O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in the heat of thine anger.
2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand rests heavily upon me.
3. There is no peace in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sins.
4. For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a great burden they are too heavy for me.
5. My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6. I am greatly troubled; all the day long I walk sadly.
7. My loins are filled with trembling, and there is no peace in my body.
8. I am feeble and miserable; I have groaned because of the despair of my heart.
9. O LORD, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
10. My heart is broken, my strength hath failed me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11. My neighbors and my friends stood aside from my grief; and my kinsmen stood off.
12. ¶ They also that seek after my life and wish me evil lay hold on me and speak mischievous things and imagine deceits all the day long.
13. But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.
14. Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth is no reproof.
15. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope; thou wilt answer me, O LORD my God.
16. Because I said, Hear me, lest they rejoice over me; they scoff at me when my feet waver.
17. I am prepared to suffer, and my sorrow is continually with me.
18. I will declare mine iniquity to thee; I will purify myself of my sins.
19. But mine enemies are strong and alert; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20. They reward me evil for good; they reproach me because I seek after good things.
21. Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
22. Abide to help me and save me.
