Have You Ever Had A Day Like This

PSALM 38

O LORD, Rebuke me not in thy

wrath: neither chasten me in thy

hot displeasure.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,

3 There is no soundness in my flesh

because of thine anger; neither is there

any rest in my bones because of my

sin.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over

mine head: as an heavy burden they are

too heavy for me.

5 My wounds stink and are corrupt

because of my foolishness.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down

greatly; I go mourning all the day

long.

7 For my loins are filled with a loath-

some disease: and there is no soundness

in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have

roared by reason of the disquietness of

my heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;

and my groaning is not hid from

thee.

10 My heart panteth, my strength

faileth me: as for the light of mine

eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand

aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen

stand afar off.

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.

13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not;

and I was as a dumb man that openeth

not his mouth.

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth

not, and in whose mouth are no

reproofs.

15 For in thee, O LORD, do I

hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my

God.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise

they should rejoice over me: when my

foot slippeth, they magnify themselves

against me.

17 For I am ready to halt, and my

sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity;

I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies are lively, and

they are strong: and they that hate me

wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good

are mine adversaries; because I follow

the thing that is good is.

21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my

God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me, O LORD

my salvation.
