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 in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.

For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the cruelty of the enemy?

For You are the God of my strength; why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning under the affliction of the enemy?

My eye mourns because of affliction; O Jehovah, I have called daily on You; I have stretched out my hands to You.

I go in mourning with no sun; I stood up and I cried out in the congregation.

Like a twittering swallow, so I chatter; I mourn as a dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights. O Jehovah, I am pressed down; be surety for me.

I go in mourning with no sun; I stood up and I cried out in the congregation.
