Psalm 38 is a penitential prayer by David in which he recognizes that his ill-health, his low mood and his abandonment of friends are all a result of his unconfessed sin. "Because of your wrath there is no health in my body". "I am bowed down and brought very low". David says that his friends avoid him and stay away from him. He says that he feels like a deaf man and he confesses his iniquity. Oh Lord, he cries, do not forsake me. Come quickly to help me.
