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
1 (37-1) <A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.> (37-2) Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. 2 (37-3) For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me. 3 (37-4) There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. 4 (37-5) For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. 5 (37-6) My sores are putrefied and corrupted, because of my foolishness. 6 (37-7) I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long. 7 (37-8) For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. 8 (37-9) I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart. 9 (37-10) Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. 10 (37-11) My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with 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.
