< Psalms 38 >

1 A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَا رَبُّ لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ،١
2 For your weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.
لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ.٢
3 For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.
اعْتَلَّ جَسَدِي لِفَرْطِ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيَّ. وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَتِي.٣
4 For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.
طَمَتْ آثَامِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. وَصَارَتْ كَعِبْءٍ ثَقِيلٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى حَمْلِهِ.٤
5 My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
أَنْتَنَتْ جِرَاحِي وَسَالَ صَدِيدُهَا بِسَبَبِ جَهَالَتِي.٥
6 I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.
انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ.٦
7 For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.
امْتلأَ دَاخِلِي بِأَلَمٍ حَارِقٍ، فَلَا صِحَّةَ فِي جَسَدِي.٧
8 I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.
أَنَا وَاهِنٌ وَمَسْحُوقٌ إِلَى الْغَايَةِ، وَأَئِنُّ مِنْ أَوْجَاعِ قَلْبِي الدَّفِينَةِ.٨
9 But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.
أَمَامَكَ يَا رَبُّ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي مَكْشُوفٌ لَدَيْكَ.٩
10 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.
خَفَقَ قَلْبِي وَفَارَقَتْنِي قُوَّتِي، وَاضْمَحَلَّ فِيَّ نُورُ عَيْنَيَّ.١٠
11 My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.
وَقَفَ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي مُسْتَنْكِفِينَ مِنِّي بِسَبَبِ مُصِيبَتِي، وَتَنَحَّى أَقَارِبِي عَنِّي.١١
12 While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
نَصَبَ السَّاعُونَ لِقَتْلِي الْفِخَاخَ، وَطَالِبُو أَذِيَّتِي تَوَعَّدُوا بِدَمَارِي، وَتَآمَرُوا طُولَ النَّهَارِ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي.١٢
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ كُنْتُ كَأَصَمَّ، لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَأَخْرَسَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ.١٣
14 And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
كُنْتُ كَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَمَنْ لَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ.١٤
15 For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, O Lord my God.
لأَنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ فِيكَ رَجَائِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُنِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي.١٥
16 For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.
قُلْتُ: «لَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي فَحَالَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَغَطْرَسُوا عَلَيَّ»١٦
17 For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.
لأَنِّي أَكَادُ أَتَعَثَّرُ، وَوَجَعِي دَائِماً أَمَامَ نَاظِرِي.١٧
18 For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.
أَعْتَرِفُ جَهْراً بِإِثْمِي، وأَحْزَنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيئَتِي.١٨
19 But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.
أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَيَفِيضُونَ حَيَوِيَّةً. تَجَبَّرُوا وَكَثُرَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْماً.١٩
20 They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.
وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ.٢٠
21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.
لَا تَنْبِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي.٢١
22 Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
أَسْرِعْ لِنَجْدَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا مُخَلِّصِي.٢٢
