Psalm 37 📜 📕 ↷
Delight Yourself in the LORD
1 A Psalm of David, in recordation of the sabbath.📜💬📚
2 Lord rebuke me not in thy fury: nor chastise me in wrath.📜💬📚
3 Because thy arrows are fast sticked in me: and thou hast fastened thy hand upon me.📜💬📚
4 There is no health in my flesh at the face of thy wrath: my bones have no peace at the face of my sins.📜💬📚
5 Because mine iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.📜💬📚
6 My scars are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.📜💬📚
7 I am become miserable, and am made crooked even to the end: I went sorrowful all the day.📜💬📚
8 Because my loins are filled with illusions: and there is no health in my flesh.📜💬📚
9 I am afflicted and am humbled exceedingly: I roared for the groaning of my heart.📜💬📚
10 Lord before thee is all my desire: and my groaning is not hid from thee.📜💬📚
11 My heart is troubled, my strength hath forsaken me: and the light of mine eyes, and the same is not with me.📜💬📚
12 My friends, and my neighbours have approached, & stood against me. And they that were near me, stood far off:📜💬📚
13 and they did violence which sought my soul. And they that sought me evils spake vanities: and meditated guiles all the day.📜💬📚
14 But I as one deaf did not hear: and as one dumb not opening his mouth.📜💬📚
15 And I became as a man not hearing: and not having reproofs in his mouth.📜💬📚
16 Because in thee, o Lord have I hoped, thou wilt hear me, o Lord my God.📜💬📚
17 Because I said: Lest sometime mine enemies rejoice over me, and whilst my feet are moved, they spake great things upon me.📜💬📚
18 Because I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is in my sight always:📜💬📚
19 Because I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.📜💬📚
20 But mine enemies live, and are confirmed over me: and they are multiplied that hate me unjustly.📜💬📚
21 They that repay evil things for good, detracted from me: because I followed goodness.📜💬📚
22 Forsake me not, o Lord my God, depart not from me.📜💬📚
23 Attend unto my help, o Lord the God of my salvation.📜💬📚
