Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَا رَبُّ لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ، | ١ |
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
| لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ. | ٢ |
3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
| اعْتَلَّ جَسَدِي لِفَرْطِ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيَّ. وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَتِي. | ٣ |
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
| طَمَتْ آثَامِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. وَصَارَتْ كَعِبْءٍ ثَقِيلٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى حَمْلِهِ. | ٤ |
5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
| أَنْتَنَتْ جِرَاحِي وَسَالَ صَدِيدُهَا بِسَبَبِ جَهَالَتِي. | ٥ |
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
| انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٦ |
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease: ] and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
| امْتلأَ دَاخِلِي بِأَلَمٍ حَارِقٍ، فَلَا صِحَّةَ فِي جَسَدِي. | ٧ |
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
| أَنَا وَاهِنٌ وَمَسْحُوقٌ إِلَى الْغَايَةِ، وَأَئِنُّ مِنْ أَوْجَاعِ قَلْبِي الدَّفِينَةِ. | ٨ |
9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
| أَمَامَكَ يَا رَبُّ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي مَكْشُوفٌ لَدَيْكَ. | ٩ |
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
| خَفَقَ قَلْبِي وَفَارَقَتْنِي قُوَّتِي، وَاضْمَحَلَّ فِيَّ نُورُ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٠ |
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
| وَقَفَ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي مُسْتَنْكِفِينَ مِنِّي بِسَبَبِ مُصِيبَتِي، وَتَنَحَّى أَقَارِبِي عَنِّي. | ١١ |
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me: ] and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
| نَصَبَ السَّاعُونَ لِقَتْلِي الْفِخَاخَ، وَطَالِبُو أَذِيَّتِي تَوَعَّدُوا بِدَمَارِي، وَتَآمَرُوا طُولَ النَّهَارِ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي. | ١٢ |
13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ كُنْتُ كَأَصَمَّ، لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَأَخْرَسَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ. | ١٣ |
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.
| كُنْتُ كَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَمَنْ لَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ. | ١٤ |
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
| لأَنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ فِيكَ رَجَائِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُنِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي. | ١٥ |
16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.
| قُلْتُ: «لَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي فَحَالَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَغَطْرَسُوا عَلَيَّ» | ١٦ |
17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.
| لأَنِّي أَكَادُ أَتَعَثَّرُ، وَوَجَعِي دَائِماً أَمَامَ نَاظِرِي. | ١٧ |
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
| أَعْتَرِفُ جَهْراً بِإِثْمِي، وأَحْزَنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيئَتِي. | ١٨ |
19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
| أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَيَفِيضُونَ حَيَوِيَّةً. تَجَبَّرُوا وَكَثُرَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْماً. | ١٩ |
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
| وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
| لَا تَنْبِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي. | ٢١ |
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
| أَسْرِعْ لِنَجْدَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا مُخَلِّصِي. | ٢٢ |
