O MY GOD, WITHHOLD YOUR ANGER (PSALM 38)

O my God, withhold Your anger,
-7 -6 6 -7 -6 7 -7
See the arrows piercing me!
-6 7 9 8 -9 8 -8
In Your wrath, my body fails,
7 -7 -6 6 -7 7
My guilt is agon-y.

O my God, do not forsake me,

Verse 2:
My wounds fester and are loathsome.
I am bowed and brought down low.
I am filled with pain and mourning:
Anguish is my soul!
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
All my longings are before You,
All my sighings in Your sight.
My heart pounds, my strength it fails,
My eyes have lost their light!
(Chorus)
Verse 4:
I am now both deaf and mute:
To enemies I shan't reply.
For I know that You will answer:
On You I rely!
(Chorus)
Verse 5:
As my pain is ere before me,
I confess my sins to You.
Many are those who may hate
And mock the good I do!
(Chorus)
