Psalm 38

A song of David for remembering.

This is one of a group of psalms known in later tradition as the penitential psalms, namely, psalms that confess sins and express confidence in God’s mercy. In this psalm a serious illness threatens the life of the worshiper.

1 O Eternal One, please do not scold me in Your anger;
    though Your wrath is just, do not correct me in Your fury.
2 The arrows from Your bow have penetrated my flesh;
    Your hand has come down hard on me.
