Psalms 38

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.	1 A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.	2 Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.	3 For thy arrows are fastened in me : and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.	4 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath : there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.	5 For my iniquities are gone over my head : and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.	6 My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.	7 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end : I walked sorrowful all the day long.
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.	8 For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.	9 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly : I roared with the groaning of my heart.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.	10 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.	11 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.	12 My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off :
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.	13 And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.	14 But I, as a deaf man, heard not : and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.	15 And I became as a man that heareth not : and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.	16 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped : thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.	17 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me : and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.	18 For I am ready for scourges : and my sorrow is continually before me.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.	19 For I will declare my inequity : and I will think for my sin.
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.	20 But my enemies live, and are stronger that I : and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.	21 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.	22 Forsake me not, O Lord my God : do not thou depart from me.
	23 Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
