Psalm 38 - Prayer in Time of Chastening - English Version | Psalms Music Project

Psalm 38 is one of the most vulnerable prayers in the Book of Psalms — a cry from the depths of affliction, remorse, and physical and spiritual anguish. Traditionally attributed to David, this psalm gives voice to a soul overwhelmed by the weight of sin, suffering, and isolation, yet still reaching toward God for mercy.

In this musical setting, the psalm is presented without embellishment or alteration, allowing the words of Scripture to speak for themselves. The arrangement is intentionally restrained and reverent, shaped to support reflection, confession, and quiet endurance rather than performance.

Psalm 38 reminds us that faith does not hide pain — it brings it honestly before God. Even when strength fails, friends fall silent, and enemies surround us, hope remains anchored in the Lord who hears the brokenhearted.

This presentation is part of the Psalms Music Project, offering Scripture in sung form for personal devotion, prayer, meditation, and worship gatherings.
