Psalms 38
1 “A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.” O Lord, correct me not in thy wrath, nor chastise me in thy fury.
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 thy arrows have penetrated into me, and thy hand presseth down upon me.
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 thy indignation: there is no peace 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 my iniquities are passed over my head, as a heavy burden are they too heavy for me.
我的罪孽高過我的頭， 如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
5 Foul, corrupt are my bruises because of my folly.
因我的愚昧， 我的傷發臭流膿。
6 I am bent double; I am bowed down to the utmost; all the day long I go about full of grief.
我疼痛，大大拳曲， 終日哀痛。
7 For my loins are filled with a burning disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
我滿腰是火； 我的肉無一完全。
8 I am made faint and crushed to the utmost; I cry aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
我被壓傷，身體疲倦； 因心裏不安，我就唉哼。
9 Lord, before thee is all my longing; and my sighing is from thee not hidden.
主啊，我的心願都在你面前； 我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
10 My heart is restless, my strength hath left me; and the light of my eyes—that also is no more with 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 plague; 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; and they that wish for my mishap speak wicked falsehoods; and deceits do they devise 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, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that cannot open his mouth.
但我如聾子不聽， 像啞巴不開口。
14 Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.
我如不聽見的人， 口中沒有回話。
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, 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, Perhaps they might rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they might magnify themselves over 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 prepared for [my] downfall, and my pain is continually before me.
我幾乎跌倒； 我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 For I will tell of my iniquity; I will be grieved because of my sin.
我要承認我的罪孽； 我要因我的罪憂愁。
19 But my enemies are strong in life; and numerous are those that hate me wrongfully;
但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯， 無理恨我的增多了。
20 They also that repay [me] evil in lieu of good; they hate me bitterly because I pursue what is good.
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！
