A Davidic Psalm: As a Reminder.

The Outcast Cries Out

38 Lord! Do not rebuke me in your anger;
    do not correct me in your wrath,
because your arrows have sunk deep into me,
    and your hand has come down hard on me.

My body is unhealthy due to your anger,
    and my bones have no rest due to my sin.

Psalm 38[a]

A psalm of David. A petition.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.(A)
Your arrows(B) have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
Because of your wrath there is no health(C) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones(D) because of my sin.
