Do not rebuke me in your anger
(Psalm 38:1-22)
1
LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD—how long?
4
Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol,(a) who shall give you thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my supplication. The LORD accepts my prayer.
10
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
