PSALME 38. (Book 38)
A Prayer for remission of sinnes.
MORNING PRAYER. (Book 38)
PUt me not to rebuke (O Lord▪) in thine anger: neither chasten me in thine heavy displeasure.
2 For thine arrowes stick fast in me: and thy hand presseth mesore.
3 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones, by reason of my sinne.
4 For my wickednesses are gone over my head: and are like a sore burden too heavy for me to bear.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt: through my foolishnesse.
6 I am brought into so great trouble and mi∣sery: that I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loyns are filled with a sore disease: and there is no whole part in my body.
8 I am feeble and sore smitten: I haue roared for the very disquietnesse of my heart.
9 Lord, thou knowest all my desire: and my groning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength hath sai∣led me: and the sight of min•• eyes is gone from me.
