Psalms 38:3

38:3 My whole body is sick because of your judgment; ¹ 

I am deprived of health because of my sin. ² 

Psalms 68:2

68:2 As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. ³ 

As wax melts before fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.

[38:3]  ¹ tn Heb “there is no soundness in my flesh from before your anger.” “Anger” here refers metonymically to divine judgment, which is the practical effect of God’s anger at the psalmist’s sin.

[38:3]  ² tn Heb “there is no health in my bones from before my sin.”

[68:2]  ³ tn Heb “as smoke is scattered, you scatter [them].”
