Psalms 38 — Context

O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.

My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.

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.
