Psalms 38:4-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength. My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour. I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day. For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy. I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart. Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you. My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me. My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away. Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit. But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth. So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words. In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God. I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me. My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me. I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin. But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers. They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right. Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me. Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.”
