Psalm 38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. We reach the "I will" by "I must" and "I ought." Now, this struggle with self-will is like a man with narrow chest and feeble lungs walking in the teeth of a biting north-east wind; it is like a bare-footed girl treading a road made with rough stones and sharp flints; it is like a feeble man climbing a mountain by a rocky path beneath a noon-day sun; and under the exhaustion of resolution and courage and patience there be many that say, "I am ready to halt." (Samuel Martin.) Parallel Verses KJV: For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.WEB: For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me. |
