Psalms 38:1-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

2. For Your arrows pierce me,and Your hand presses down on me.

3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation,nor is there health in my bones because of my sin.

4. For my iniquities have passed over my head;as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5. My wounds grow foul and festerbecause of my foolishness.

6. I am bent, I am bowed down greatly;I go mourning all the day long.

7. For my sides are filled with burning,and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am numb and completely crushed;I have roared because of the groaning of my heart.

9. Lord, all my desire is before You,and my sighing is not hidden from You.
