The Burden of Sin and Illness

Psalms 38:1-8

A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lord, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.

There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.

For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.

My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.

I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.

For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.

I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
