38:1  Lord Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither discipline me in your anger.
38:2  For your arrows have stuck in me and your hand has pressed against me.
38:3  And there is no peace for my flesh from before your anger, and there is no peace for my bones from before my sins.
38:4  For my crimes have passed above my head, and like heavy cargo, they are heavy for me.
38:5  My wounds defile me and rot me even from the presence of my crime.
38:6  I was very agitated and all day I have walked in sadness.
38:7  Because my ankles are filled with shaking and there is no peace for my flesh.
38:8  I shook and I was very saddened and I have been groaning from the moaning of my heart.
38:9  Lord Jehovah, all my desire is before you and my sighs are not hidden from you.
38:10  My heart is cast down and my power has left me, and the light of my eyes has not been with me.
38:11  My friends and my neighbors have stood before my sorrow and my relatives have been staying at a distance.
38:12  And those who seek my life and seek my affliction took me and have spoken lies and have been meditating deceit all day.
38:13  But I, like a deaf man, have not heard, and like a dumb man, I did not open my mouth.
38:14  I have been like a man who does not hear and there is no rebuke in his mouth.
38:15  Because I have waited for you, Lord Jehovah, and you have answered me, Lord Jehovah, my God.
38:16  Because I said, “Do not let them rejoice against me, and do not let them be exalted against me while my feet shake.”
38:17  Because I am prepared for suffering and my sorrow is always before me.
38:18  For I shall declare to you my wrongdoing and I shall be purged from my sins.
38:19  My enemies have been strengthened and have seen and my lying haters have increased.
38:20  They have paid me evil for good and have regarded me with malice because I have sought good.
38:21  Do not abandon me, Lord Jehovah, my God, and do not be far from me.
38:22  But stay for my help and save me.
