- Chapter 6 -

Do not rebuke me in your anger

(Psalm 38:1-22)
1
Yahweh, do not correct me when you are angry with me; do not punish me when you are upset.
2
Yahweh, act kindly toward me and heal me because I have become weak. My body shakes because I am experiencing so much sorrow.
3
Yahweh, I am greatly troubled in my inner being. How long must I endure this?
4
Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you always keep the promises of your covenant.
5
I will not be able to praise you after I die; no one in the place where the dead are praise you.
6
I am exhausted because of my pain. I cry all night long so that my bed and my pillow are drenched by my tears.
7
Because I cry so much, I cannot see well. My eyes have become weak because I constantly cry in fear of my enemies.
8
You people who do evil things, get away from me, because Yahweh heard me when I was crying!
9
Yahweh heard me when I called out for him to help me, and he will answer my prayer.
10
When that happens, all my enemies will be ashamed; they will be the ones who are terrified. They will turn away from me and suddenly leave me because they will be disgraced.

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.
