Read the Bible in the order that the events happened.

Today, we are reading Psalm 5, 38; Psalm 41-42.

Psalms 5

1	To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2	Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3	My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4	For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5	The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6	Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7	But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8	Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9	For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.
10	Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11	But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12	For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

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 a 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.
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.
