The Book of Psalms, Chapter 38, Verse 5

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

King James Version

My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

American Standard Version

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

World English Bible

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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.

But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
