詩篇 第 38 篇

¹（大衛的記念詩。）耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我！O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

²因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

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。There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

⁴我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

⁵因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

⁶我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

⁷我滿腰是火；我的肉無一完全。For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

⁸我被壓傷，身體疲倦；因心裡不安，我就唉哼。I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

⁹主啊，我的心願都在你面前；我的歎息不向你隱瞞。Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

¹⁰我心跳動，我力衰微，連我眼中的光也沒有了。My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

¹¹我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站著；我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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。They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

¹³但我如聾子不聽，像啞巴不開口。But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

¹⁴我如不聽見的人，口中沒有回話。Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵耶和華啊，我仰望你！主─我的神啊，你必應允我！For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

¹⁶我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀；我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

¹⁷我幾乎跌倒；我的痛苦常在我面前。For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

¹⁸我要承認我的罪孽；我要因我的罪憂愁。For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁹但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，無理恨我的增多了。But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

²⁰以惡報善的與我作對，因我是追求良善。They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

²¹耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的神啊，求你不要遠離我！Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

²²拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
