Psalms 38
1 A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lord, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
| מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ יְֽהֹוָה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃ |
2 For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.
| כִּֽי־חִצֶּיךָ נִחֲתוּ בִי וַתִּנְחַת עָלַי יָדֶֽךָ׃ |
3 There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.
| אֵין־מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵי זַעְמֶךָ אֵין־שָׁלוֹם בַּעֲצָמַי מִפְּנֵי חַטָּאתִֽי׃ |
4 For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.
| כִּי עֲוֺנֹתַי עָֽבְרוּ רֹאשִׁי כְּמַשָּׂא כָבֵד יִכְבְּדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
5 My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.
| הִבְאִישׁוּ נָמַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָי מִפְּנֵי אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃ |
6 I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.
| נַעֲוֵיתִי שַׁחֹתִי עַד־מְאֹד כׇּל־הַיּוֹם קֹדֵר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃ |
7 For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
| כִּֽי־כְסָלַי מָלְאוּ נִקְלֶה וְאֵין מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃ |
8 I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
| נְפוּגוֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּיתִי עַד־מְאֹד שָׁאַגְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַת לִבִּֽי׃ |
9 Lord, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
| אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇל־תַּאֲוָתִי וְאַנְחָתִי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃ |
10 Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.
| לִבִּי סְחַרְחַר עֲזָבַנִי כֹחִי וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַי גַּם־הֵם אֵין אִתִּֽי׃ |
11 My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.
| אֹֽהֲבַי ׀ וְרֵעַי מִנֶּגֶד נִגְעִי יַעֲמֹדוּ וּקְרוֹבַי מֵרָחֹק עָמָֽדוּ׃ |
12 They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.
| וַיְנַקְשׁוּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי וְדֹרְשֵׁי רָעָתִי דִּבְּרוּ הַוּוֹת וּמִרְמוֹת כׇּל־הַיּוֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃ |
13 But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.
| וַאֲנִי כְחֵרֵשׁ לֹא אֶשְׁמָע וּכְאִלֵּם לֹא יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃ |
14 Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
| וָאֱהִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שֹׁמֵעַ וְאֵין בְּפִיו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃ |
15 For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.
| כִּֽי־לְךָ יְהֹוָה הוֹחָלְתִּי אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהָֽי׃ |
16 For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.
| כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי בְּמוֹט רַגְלִי עָלַי הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃ |
17 Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.
| כִּֽי־אֲנִי לְצֶלַע נָכוֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃ |
18 When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,
| כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִי אַגִּיד אֶדְאַג מֵחַטָּאתִֽי׃ |
19 Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.
| וְֽאֹיְבַי חַיִּים עָצֵמוּ וְרַבּוּ שֹׂנְאַי שָֽׁקֶר׃ |
20 They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I follow goodnesse.
| וּמְשַׁלְּמֵי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה יִשְׂטְנוּנִי תַּחַת (רדופי) [רׇֽדְפִי־]טֽוֹב׃ |
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.
| אַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
22 Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lord, my saluation.
| חוּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִי אֲדֹנָי תְּשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ |
