Psalms

The Bible

The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament scriptures inherited from Judaism, together with the New Testament, drawn from writings produced from c.40-125CE, which describe the life of Jesus and the establishment and teachings of the early Christian church. It consists of 66 books of very varied literary forms and genres, although some churches also include the Apocrypha. It is regarded by Christians as a sacred and inspired book (2 Timothy 3:16).

¹But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. ²For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ⁴treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. ⁶For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, ⁷always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. ⁸Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. ⁹But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. ¹⁰You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, ¹¹my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra - which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. ¹²Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, ¹³while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it ¹⁵and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

¹This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ⁴Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ⁵Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. ⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. ¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, ¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. ¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. ¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. ¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Psalms 38

English Standard Version
King James Version

¹O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath! ²For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. ³There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. ⁴For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. ⁵My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness, ⁶I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning. ⁷For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. ⁸I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart. ⁹O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. ¹⁰My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes - it also has gone from me. ¹¹My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off. ¹²Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long. ¹³But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth. ¹⁴I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. ¹⁵But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. ¹⁶For I said, Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips! ¹⁷For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. ¹⁸I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. ¹⁹But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. ²⁰Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. ²¹Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! ²²Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

¹O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. ²For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. ³There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. ⁴For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. ⁵My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. ⁶I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. ⁷For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. ⁸I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. ⁹Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. ¹⁰My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. ¹¹My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. ¹²They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. ¹³But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. ¹⁴Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. ¹⁵For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. ¹⁶For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. ¹⁷For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. ¹⁸For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. ¹⁹But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. ²⁰They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. ²¹Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. ²²Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
