詩篇 38
1 大衛的紀念詩。 耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我， 不要在烈怒中懲罰我！
A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not punish me in your wrath.
2 因為，你的箭射入我身； 你的手壓住我。
For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.
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。
My whole body is sick because of your anger; there is no health 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 my iniquities overwhelm me; they are a burden too heavy for me.
5 因我的愚昧， 我的傷發臭流膿。
My wounds are infected and smell because of my foolish sins.
6 我疼痛，大大拳曲， 終日哀痛。
I am stooped over and humiliated every day; I go about mourning all day long.
7 我滿腰是火； 我的肉無一完全。
For within me, I am filled with burning; there is no health in my flesh.
8 我被壓傷，身體疲倦； 因心裏不安，我就唉哼。
I am numb and utterly crushed; I groan because of the anguish 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, you understand my heart's deepest yearnings, and my groanings are not hidden from you.
10 我心跳動，我力衰微， 連我眼中的光也沒有了。
My heart pounds, my strength fades, and my eyesight dims.
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。
My friends and companions shun me because of my condition; my neighbors stand far 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。
Those who seek my life lay snares for me. They who seek my harm speak destructive words and say deceitful words all day long.
13 但我如聾子不聽， 像啞巴不開口。
But I, I am like a deaf man and hear nothing; I am like a mute man who says nothing.
14 我如不聽見的人， 口中沒有回話。
I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reply.
15 耶和華啊，我仰望你！ 主－我的上帝啊，你必應允我！
Surely I wait for you, Yahweh; you will answer, 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。
I say this so that my enemies will not gloat over me. If my foot slips, they will do terrible things to me.
17 我幾乎跌倒； 我的痛苦常在我面前。
For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.
18 我要承認我的罪孽； 我要因我的罪憂愁。
I confess my guilt; I am concerned about my sin.
19 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯， 無理恨我的增多了。
But my enemies are numerous; those who hate me wrongfully are many.
20 以惡報善的與我作對， 因我是追求良善。
They repay me evil for good; they hurl accusations at me although I have pursued what is good.
21 耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！ 我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！
Do not abandon me, Yahweh; my God, do not stay far away from me.
22 拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！
Come quickly to help me, Lord, my salvation.
