Psalms 38
38
A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.
1O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage!
2Your arrows have struck deep,
and your blows are crushing me.
3Because of your anger, my whole body is sick;
my health is broken because of my sins.
4My guilt overwhelms me—
it is a burden too heavy to bear.
5My wounds fester and stink
because of my foolish sins.
6I am bent over and racked with pain.
All day long I walk around filled with grief.
7A raging fever burns within me,
and my health is broken.
8I am exhausted and completely crushed.
My groans come from an anguished heart.
9You know what I long for, Lord;
you hear my every sigh.
10My heart beats wildly, my strength fails,
and I am going blind.
11My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease.
Even my own family stands at a distance.
12Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me.
Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me.
All day long they plan their treachery.
13But I am deaf to all their threats.
I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.
14I choose to hear nothing,
and I make no reply.
15For I am waiting for you, O Lord.
You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
16I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me
or rejoice at my downfall.”
17I am on the verge of collapse,
facing constant pain.
18But I confess my sins;
I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
19I have many aggressive enemies;
they hate me without reason.
20They repay me evil for good
and oppose me for pursuing good.
21Do not abandon me, O Lord.
Do not stand at a distance, my God.
22Come quickly to help me,
O Lord my savior.

詩篇 38
38
受苦者的祈禱
大衛的紀念詩。
1耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，
不要在烈怒中懲罰我！
2因為，你的箭射入我身；
你的手壓住我。
3因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；
因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。
4我的罪孽高過我的頭，
如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
5因我的愚昧，
我的傷發臭流膿。
6我疼痛，大大拳曲，
終日哀痛。
7我滿腰是火；
我的肉無一完全。
8我被壓傷，身體疲倦；
因心裏不安，我就唉哼。
9主啊，我的心願都在你面前；
我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
10我心跳動，我力衰微，
連我眼中的光也沒有了。
11我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站着；
我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。
12那尋索我命的設下網羅；
那想要害我的口出惡言，
終日思想詭計。
13但我如聾子不聽，
像啞巴不開口。
14我如不聽見的人，
口中沒有回話。
15耶和華啊，我仰望你！
主－我的上帝啊，你必應允我！
16我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀；
我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。
17我幾乎跌倒；
我的痛苦常在我面前。
18我要承認我的罪孽；
我要因我的罪憂愁。
19但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，
無理恨我的增多了。
20以惡報善的與我作對，
因我是追求良善。
21耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！
我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！
22拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！
