New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 38
15 For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
16 I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.”
17 I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain.
18 But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
19 I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason.
20 They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good.
21 Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.
Psalm 39
1 I said to myself, “I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.”
2 But as I stood there in silence— not even speaking of good things— the turmoil within me grew worse.
3 The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words:
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
