Summary

In this verse, the psalmist expresses the depth of his anguish and distress, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of his sin and the consequences of his actions. The physical and emotional toll of his guilt is vividly described, as he is bent over and bowed down under the weight of his transgressions. This poignant imagery conveys the heavy burden of sin and the internal turmoil it can cause. The psalmist's words serve as a reminder of the need for repentance, seeking forgiveness, and finding solace in God's mercy and grace.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

Lord, all my desire is before thee,.... To be delivered from his afflictions, to have a discovery and application of pardoning grace, and to have communion with his God: the desire of his soul was unto these things; and it was some satisfaction to him that it was before the Lord, and known unto him, before whom all things are naked and open; and my groaning is not hid from thee; under the weight of his affliction, the burden of his sin, and which he expressed in prayer to the Lord, and which is often done with groanings which cannot be uttered: but even these are known and understood by the Lord.

Psalms 38:8

Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger
