Psalmi 38

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

A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.

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

For your weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.

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

For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.

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

For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.

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

For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.

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

I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

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

But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.

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

My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.

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

My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.

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

While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

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

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

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

And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

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

For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, 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 mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

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

For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

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

For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

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

But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

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

They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.

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

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.

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

Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
