THE MESSAGE
Lord, my longings are sitting in plain sight, my groans an old story to you. My heart's about to break; I'm a burned-out case. Cataracts blind me to God and good; old friends avoid me like the plague. My cousins never visit, my neighbors stab me in the back. My competitors blacken my name, devoutly they pray for my ruin. But I'm deaf and mute to it all, ears shut, mouth shut. I don't hear a word they say, don't speak a word in response. What I do, God , is wait for you, wait for my Lord, my God—you will answer! I wait and pray so they won't laugh me off, won't smugly strut off when I stumble.

Contextual Overview
1O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor discipline me in Your burning anger. 2For Your arrows have sunk into me and penetrate deeply, And Your hand has pressed down on me and greatly disciplined me. 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin. 4For my iniquities have gone over my head [like the waves of a flood]; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. 5My wounds are loathsome and foul Because of my foolishness. 6I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go about mourning all day long. 7For my sides are filled with burning, And there is no health in my flesh. 8I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out]; I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart. 9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.10My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me; And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Lord, all my desire [is] before thee,.... To be delivered from his afflictions, to have a discovery and application of pardoning grace, and to have communion with his God: the desire of his soul was unto these things; and it was some satisfaction to him that it was before the Lord, and known unto him, before whom all things are naked and open;
and my groaning is not hid from thee; under the weight of his affliction, the burden of his sin, and which he expressed in prayer to the Lord, and which is often done with groanings which cannot be uttered: but even these are known and understood by the Lord.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Lord, all my desire is before thee - That is, Thou knowest all that I would ask or that I need. This is the expression of one who felt that his only hope was in God, and that He fully understood the case. There was no need of repeating the request. He was willing to leave the whole case with God.
And my groaning is not hid from thee - My sighing; the expression of my sorrow and anguish. As God certainly heard these sighs, and as He wholly understood the case, David hoped that He would mercifully interpose in his behalf.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 38:9. Lord, all my desire is before thee — I long for nothing so much as thy favour; and for this my heart is continually going out after thee. Instead of אדני Adonai, Lord, several of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. have יהוהYehovah.
