Psalms 38
1 A psalm of David, for a memorial. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; don't punish me because you're furious with me!
A psalm of David to make remembrance. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and in wrath your may you chasten me.
2 Your arrows have pierced me deeply, your hand has come down hard on me.
For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.
3 Because you're so upset with me, not a single part of my body is healthy; I am completely sick because of my sins.
There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.
4 I'm drowning in guilt—the burden is too heavy to bear.
For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.
5 My wounds are infected—they're smelling—all because of my stupidity.
They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.
6 I am bent over, doubled up in pain. The whole day I walk around crying my eyes out.
I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.
7 Inside I'm burning up with fever; no part of my body is healthy.
For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.
8 I'm worn out, totally down. I groan because of the anguish I feel in my heart.
I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.
9 Lord, you know what I desperately want, you hear every sigh I make.
O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.
10 My heart is racing, leaving me with no strength; my eyesight is failing.
Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.
11 My loved ones and my friends don't come near me because they're afraid of what I've got. Even my family keeps me at a distance.
Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.
12 Those who are trying to kill me set traps for me; those who want to hurt me make threats against me, working on their deceitful schemes all day long.
And they set traps - [those who] seek life my and [those who] seek harm my they have spoken destruction and deceit all the day they devise.
13 I act as if I'm deaf to what they're saying, and pretend to be dumb so I don't have to speak.
And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.
14 Like a man who can't hear, and who doesn't reply—that's me!
And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.
15 For I'm waiting on you, Lord! You will answer for me, my Lord and my God.
For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.
16 I'm asking you, Lord, please don't let my enemies gloat over me, don't let them be glad when I trip up.
For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.
17 For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.
For I for stumbling [am] prepared and pain my [is] before me continually.
18 I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.
For iniquity my I tell I am anxious from sin my.
19 I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.
And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.
20 They pay me back evil for good; they accuse me for the good I try to do.
And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.
21 Don't give up on me, my Lord and my God, don't stay away from me.
May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.
22 Hurry, come and help me, Lord my salvation.
Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
