Psalm 38 is a plea for mercy. It was interesting to me that David doesn't seem to be asking to 'not be punished' but for God to not punish him in anger. This occurs in several other Psalms as well. The results of his sin weigh him down to a point that he cannot handle. He pleads to God for mercy and rescue.
Do you recognize the words of verse 22? Where do we use those?
Do you ever use words like those in verses 1 and 18 in your prayers? The world tries to convince us that sin is not a serious matter. Consider those words in your prayers tonight.
