ASV_Strong : Psalms 38
1.
2. For thine arrows[H2671] stick fast[H5181] in me[H3027], And thy hand presseth me sore[H5181].
3. There is no soundness[H4974] in my flesh[H1320] because[H6440] of thine indignation[H2195]; Neither is there any health[H7965] in my bones[H6106] because[H6440] of my sin[H2403].
4. For mine iniquities[H5771] are gone over[H5674] my head[H7218]: As a heavy[H3515] burden[H4853] they are too heavy for me[H3513].
5. My wounds[H2250] are loathsome[H887] and corrupt[H4743], Because[H6440] of my foolishness[H200].
6. I am pained[H5753] and bowed down[H7817] greatly[H3966]; I go[H1980] mourning[H6937] all the day long[H3117].
7. For my loins[H3689] are filled[H4390] with burning[H7033]; And there is no soundness[H4974] in my flesh[H1320].
8. I am faint[H6313] and sore[H3966] bruised[H1794]: I have groaned[H7580] by reason of the disquietness[H5100] of my heart[H3820].
9. Lord[H136], all my desire[H8378] is before thee[H585]; And my groaning is not hid from thee[H5641].
10. My heart[H3820] throbbeth[H5503], my strength[H3581] faileth[H5800] me[H216]: As for the light of mine eyes[H5869], it[H1992] also is gone from me[H369].
11. My lovers[H157] and my friends[H7453] stand[H5975] aloof from[H5048] my plague[H5061]; And my kinsmen[H7138] stand[H5975] afar off[H7350].
12. They also that seek[H1245] after my life[H5315] lay snares[H5367] for me[H1875]; And they that seek my hurt[H7451] speak[H1696] mischievous things[H1942], And meditate[H1897] deceits[H4820] all the day long[H3117].
13. But I[H2795], as a deaf man[H8085], hear not[H483]; And I am as a dumb man that openeth[H6605] not his mouth[H6310].
14. Yea[H376], I am as a man that heareth[H8085] not[H6310], And in whose mouth are no reproofs[H8433].
15. For in thee[H3068], O Jehovah, do I hope[H3176]: Thou wilt answer[H6030], O Lord[H136] my God[H430].
16. For I said[H559], Lest they rejoice[H8055] over me[H7272]: When my foot slippeth[H4131], they magnify themselves against me[H1431].
17. For I am ready[H3559] to fall[H6761], And my sorrow[H4341] is continually before me[H8548].
18. For I will declare[H5046] mine iniquity[H5771]; I will be sorry[H1672] for my sin[H2403].
19. But mine enemies[H341] are lively[H2416], and are strong[H6105]; And they that hate[H8130] me wrongfully[H8267] are multiplied[H7231].
20. They also that render[H7999] evil[H7451] for good[H2896] Are adversaries[H7853] unto me[H7291], because I follow the thing that is good[H2896].
21. Forsake[H5800] me not[H3068], O Jehovah: O my God[H430], be not far from me[H7368].
22. Make haste[H2363] to help[H5833] me[H136], O Lord, my salvation[H8668].
