Psalms 37 — GMV
37
Verse 1
A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath day.
Verse 2
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath,
Verse 3
For thy weapons are fixed in me,
Verse 4
For there is no health in my flesh because of thine anger;
Verse 5
For my transgressions have gone over my head:
Verse 6
My bruises have become noisome and corrupt,
Verse 7
I have been wretched and bowed down continually:
Verse 8
For my soul is filled with mockings;
Verse 9
I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly:
Verse 10
But all my desire is before thee;
Verse 11
My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me;
Verse 12
My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still;
Verse 13
While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul:
Verse 14
But I, as a deaf man, heard not;
Verse 15
And I was as a man that hears not,
Verse 16
For I hoped in thee, O Lord:
Verse 17
For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me:
Verse 18
For I am ready for plagues,
Verse 19
For I will declare mine iniquity,
Verse 20
But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I:
Verse 21
They that reward evil for good slandered me;
Verse 22
Forsake me not, O Lord my God:
Verse 23
Draw nigh to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
