David's Psalm of Jesus Christ (38)


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



 God imputes righteousness apart from 
works        (Romans 4:6-8)
If David was judged on his works alone ,
the righteousness God would condemn
David.
David abides in Christ and Christ abides
in David. Christ righteousness is David's.
God is satisfied with Christ's payment
for David's sin with His precious blood.

In his transgression the person crosses
 a line defying God's authority .
The man's sin is that he missed God's mark.
Man's sin is he falls short of God's mark.
Man's iniquity is man's crookedness and
distortion.
Come to the Lord with a clean spirit. 
There should be  no guile in the man's spirit .
There should be no deceit in the man's spirit.
Do not deceive yourself. Come clean
 before God






1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your wrath: 
neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 For your arrows stick fast in me, 
and  your hand presseth me sore.


David sensed the displeasure  and the 
wrath of God.
The Lord chasten David as a Father.

Christ is  made the same target  of
agony on the cross  for our sin not
His sin..
For your arrows stick  in Christ  , and
His hand presses down upon Jesus
much harder than on David.







3 There is no soundness in my flesh
 because of your anger; 
neither is there any rest in my bones 
because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over
 mine head: as a heavy burden
they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt
 because of my foolishness.

There  is no soundness in David's
flesh because of God's anger.
Neither is there any rest in David's
bones because of David's sin.
For David's iniquities are gone over 
David's head. As a heavy burden
they are too heavy for David.
David's wounds stinks and are corrupt
because of David's foolishness.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly;
 I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with
 a loathsome disease:
 and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and sore broken:
 I have roared by reason of the 
disquietness of my heart.

David is troubled David is bowed down
greatly. David goes mourning all day
long. For David's loins are a loathsome
disease. And there is no soundness in
David's flesh..
David is feeble and sore broken.
David has roared by reason of the
noise in his heart.




9 Lord, all my desire is before you;
and my groaning is not hid from you.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me: 
as for the light of mine eyes,
 it also is gone from me.

David has troubles when he looks to 
himself. David  should look to the
Lord. David should abide in the Lord
for his peace.
 The LORD redeems the soul of
 his servants: and none of them that
 trust in him shall be desolate.
None of the folks who trust in Christ 
shall be condemned.
God will rescue the soul of His
servants.
There is no condemnation to those
who are in Christ Jesus
(Romans 8:1).






11 My lovers and my friends stand
 aloof from my sore;
 and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They 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.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; 
and I was as a dumb man that
 opens not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that hears not,
 and in whose mouth are no reproofs.



David's lovers and David's friends stand
 aloof from David's sore;
 and Davis's kinsmen stand afar off.
 They also that seek after my life 
lay snares fore
David : and they that
 seek David's hurt speak mischievous things,
 and imagine deceits all the   day long.
 But David , as a deaf man, heard not; 
and David was as a dumb man that
 opens not his mouth.
Thus David was as a man that hears not,
 and in whose mouth are no reproofs.




15 For in you, O LORD, do I hope:
you will hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise
 they should rejoice over me: when 
 my foot slips, they magnify themselves
 against me.

 For in you, O LORD, do David hope:
You will hear, O Lord my God.
 For David said, Hear me, lest otherwise
 they should rejoice over me: when 
 my foot slips, they magnify themselves
 against me.
In the Lord hopes David. 






17 For I am ready to halt, 
and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; 
I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, 
and they are strong: 
and they that hate me wrongfully 
are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for
good are mine adversaries;
 because I follow the thing that good is.

 For Davis is ready to halt, 
and David's sorrow is continually before 
David.
 For David will declare his iniquity; 
David will be sorry for his sin.
 But David's enemies are lively, 
and they are strong: 
and they that hate me wrongfully 
are multiplied.
 They also that render evil for
good are David's adversaries;
 because David follow the thing
 that good is.



21 Forsake me not, O LORD: 
O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, 
O Lord my salvation.

 Forsake David not, O LORD: 
O my God, be not far from David.
 Make haste to help David, 
O Lord my salvation
