Psalms 38
Book of Psalms
Psalms 38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me
not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine 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 thee; and my groaning is not hid
from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth 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.

Those that hate me, make up lies
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man
that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no
reproofs.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice
over me: when my foot slippeth, 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.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
