Psalm 38
Good morning brothers and sisters. Today our mercies are new. But we must not get discouraged when God is disciplining us. Still about 75% of face still swollen, still not able to eat or talk but I am so blessed. So have a great day in the Lord.
1- O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!
2- For Your arrows pierce me deeply; and Your hand presses me down.
3- There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.
4- For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5- My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.
6- I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7- For my loins are full of inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8- I am feeble and severely broken; I groin because of the turmoil of my heart.
9- Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You.
10- My heart pants, my strength fails me, as for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.
11- My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my relatives stand afar off.
12- Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and plan deception all the day long.
13- But I, like a deaf man, do not hear, and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
14- Thus I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no response.
15- For in You, O Lord, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God.
16- For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.:
17- For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18- For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin.
19- But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; and those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
20- Those also who render evil for good, they are my adversaries because I follow what is good.
21- Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me!
22- Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
Have a blessed day! Rise up children of God, rise up!
