Psalmi 38

1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me severely.

3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation, nor is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all the day long.

7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned because of the disquietness of my heart.

9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

Those I love and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

Those also who seek after my life lay snares for me. And those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.

13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not. And I am as a mute man who opens not his mouth.

14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

Yea, I am as a man who hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope. Thou will answer, O Lord my God.

16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me. When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

But my enemies are energetic, and are strong, and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

They also who render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the thing that is good.

21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

Forsake me not, O Jehovah. O my God, be not far from me.

22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
