Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
(En salme af David. Lehazkir.) HERRE, revs mig ej i din vrede, tugt mig ej i din Harme!
2 For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
Thi dine pile sidder i mig, din Hånd har lagt sig på mig.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Intet er karskt på min Krop for din Vredes Skyld, intet uskadt i mine Ledemod for mine Synders Skyld;
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
thi over mit Hoved skyller min Brøde som en tyngende Byrde, for tung for mig.
5 My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
Mine Sår både stinker og rådner, for min Dårskabs Skyld går jeg bøjet;
6 I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
jeg er såre nedtrykt, sorgfuld vandrer jeg Dagen lang.
7 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Thi Lænderne er fulde af Brand, intet er karskt på min Krop,
8 I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
jeg er lammet og fuldkommen knust, jeg skriger i Hjertets Vånde.
9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
HERRE, du kender al min Attrå, mit Suk er ej skjult for dig;
10 My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
mit Hjerte banker, min Kraft har svigtet, selv mit Øje har mistet sin Glans.
11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
For min Plages Skyld flyr mig Ven og Frænde, mine Nærmeste holder sig fjert;
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
de, der vil mig til Livs, sætter Snarer, og de, der vil mig ondt, lægger Råd om Fordærv, de tænker Dagen igennem på Svig.
13 But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Men jeg er som en døv, der intet hører, som en stum, der ej åbner sin Mund,
14 Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
som en Mand, der ikke kan høre, i hvis Mund der ikke er Svar.
15 For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Thi til dig står mit Håb, o HERRE, du vil bønhøre, Herre min Gud,
16 For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
når jeg siger: "Lad dem ikke glæde sig over mig, hovmode sig over min vaklende Fod!"
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
Thi jeg står allerede for Fald, mine Smerter minder mig stadig;
18 For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
thi jeg må bekende min Skyld må sørge over min Synd.
19 But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Mange er de, der med Urette er mine Fjender, talrige de, der hader mig uden Grund,
20 They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
som lønner mig godt med ondt, som står mig imod, fordi jeg søger det gode.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
HERRE, forlad mig ikke, min Gud, hold dig ikke borte fra mig,
22 Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
il mig til Hjælp, o Herre, min Frelse!
