Psalms 38
1 A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
Mazmur Daud waktu mempersembahkan kurban peringatan. TUHAN, jangan menghukum aku dalam kemarahan-Mu, jangan menyiksa aku dalam kemurkaan-Mu.
2 For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
Panah-Mu menembus melukai tubuhku, tangan-Mu terasa berat menekan aku.
3 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
Aku sakit parah karena kemarahan-Mu; tak ada yang sehat pada tubuhku karena dosaku.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
Aku tenggelam dalam banjir kesalahanku, beban dosaku terlalu berat bagiku.
5 My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
Luka-lukaku bernanah dan berbau busuk, karena aku telah berlaku bodoh.
6 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
Aku tertunduk dan terbungkuk, sepanjang hari aku murung dan sedih.
7 For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
Demam membakar tubuhku, tak ada yang sehat pada badanku.
8 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
Aku remuk-redam dan kehabisan tenaga, aku merintih karena hatiku resah.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
TUHAN, Engkau tahu segala keinginanku, keluh kesahku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
10 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
Jantungku berdebar-debar, tenagaku hilang, mataku sudah menjadi pudar.
11 My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
Handai-taulanku menghindar karena penyakitku, bahkan kaum kerabatku menjauhi aku.
12 And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
Orang yang ingin membunuh aku memasang jerat bagiku; yang ingin mencelakakan aku mengancam hendak menumpas aku.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
Tetapi aku seperti orang tuli yang tidak mendengar, seperti orang bisu yang tidak bicara.
14 And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
Sungguh, aku seperti orang yang tidak mendengar, dan karena itu tidak membantah.
15 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
Tetapi aku berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan Engkau, TUHAN Allahku, menjawab aku.
16 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
Jangan biarkan musuhku senang melihat kesusahanku, jangan biarkan mereka membual bila aku goyah.
17 For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
Aku hampir saja jatuh, terus menerus aku kesakitan.
18 For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.
Aku mengakui dosa-dosaku; hatiku cemas memikirkan kesalahanku.
19 But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Orang-orang yang memusuhi aku banyak dan kuat, mereka membenci cara hidupku.
20 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
Orang yang membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan memusuhi aku karena aku melakukan yang baik.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
Ya TUHAN, jangan meninggalkan aku, jangan jauh daripadaku, ya Allahku.
22 Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
Datanglah segera menolong aku, ya TUHAN penyelamatku.
