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.
大衛的紀念詩。 耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我， 不要在烈怒中懲罰我！
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
因為，你的箭射入我身； 你的手壓住我。
3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全； 因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
我的罪孽高過我的頭， 如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
因我的愚昧， 我的傷發臭流膿。
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
我疼痛，大大拳曲， 終日哀痛。
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease: ] and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
我滿腰是火； 我的肉無一完全。
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
我被壓傷，身體疲倦； 因心裏不安，我就唉哼。
9 Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
主啊，我的心願都在你面前； 我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
我心跳動，我力衰微， 連我眼中的光也沒有了。
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站着； 我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。
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.
那尋索我命的設下網羅； 那想要害我的口出惡言， 終日思想詭計。
13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
但我如聾子不聽， 像啞巴不開口。
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.
我如不聽見的人， 口中沒有回話。
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
耶和華啊，我仰望你！ 主－我的上帝啊，你必應允我！
16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.
我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀； 我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。
17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.
我幾乎跌倒； 我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
我要承認我的罪孽； 我要因我的罪憂愁。
19 But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯， 無理恨我的增多了。
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
以惡報善的與我作對， 因我是追求良善。
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！ 我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！
