Psalm 38:6

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

I am weary from my groaning. Every night my couch is drenched with tears, my bed is soaked through.

My life is consumed by sorrow, my years with groaning. My strength has faltered because of my iniquity; my bones have been consumed.

I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"

Since you are the God who strengthens me, why have you forsaken me? Why do I go around mourning under the enemy's oppression?"

My eyes languish on account of my affliction; all day long I call out to you, LORD, I spread out my hands to you.

"In growing darkness, I walked without sunlight; I stood in the congregation to cry for help.

Like a swallow or a crane I chirp, I moan like a dove. My eyes look weakly upward. O Lord, I am oppressed, so stand up for me!

"In growing darkness, I walked without sunlight; I stood in the congregation to cry for help.
