Psalms 38
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” YHWH, do not reprove me in Your wrath, Nor discipline me in Your fury.
En Salme af David. Lehazkir.
2 For Your arrows have come down on me, And You let down Your hand on me.
HERRE, revs mig ej i din Vrede, tugt mig ej i din Harme!
3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Your indignation, Peace is not in my bones, Because of my sin.
Thi dine Pile sidder i mig, din Haand har lagt sig paa mig.
4 For my iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden—too heavy for me.
Intet er karskt paa min Krop for din Vredes Skyld, intet uskadt i mine Ledemod for mine Synders Skyld;
5 Stunk—my wounds have become corrupt, Because of my folly.
thi over mit Hoved skyller min Brøde som en tyngende Byrde, for tung for mig.
6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down—to excess, I have gone mourning all the day.
Mine Saar baade stinker og raadner, for min Daarskabs Skyld gaar jeg bøjet;
7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
jeg er saare nedtrykt, sorgfuld vandrer jeg Dagen lang.
8 I have been feeble and struck—to excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
Thi Lænderne er fulde af Brand, intet er karskt paa min Krop,
9 Lord, all my desire [is] before You, And my sighing has not been hid from You.
jeg er lammet og fuldkommen knust, jeg skriger i Hjertets Vaande.
10 My heart [is] panting, my power has forsaken me, And the light of my eyes, Even they are not with me.
HERRE, du kender al min Attraa, mit Suk er ej skjult for dig;
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from before my plague. And my neighbors have stood far off.
mit Hjerte banker, min Kraft har svigtet, selv mit Øje har mistet sin Glans.
12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they meditate [on] deceits all the day.
For min Plages Skyld flyr mig Ven og Frænde, mine Nærmeste holder sig fjernt;
13 And I, as deaf, do not hear. And as a mute one who does not open his mouth.
de, der vil mig til Livs, sætter Snarer, og de, der vil mig ondt, lægger Raad om Fordærv, de tænker Dagen igennem paa Svig.
14 Indeed, I am as a man who does not hear, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
Men jeg er som en døv, der intet hører, som en stum, der ej aabner sin Mund,
15 Because for You, O YHWH, I have waited, You answer, O Lord my God.
som en Mand, der ikke kan høre, i hvis Mund der ikke er Svar.
16 When I said, “Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot they magnified themselves against me.”
Thi til dig staar mit Haab, o HERRE, du vil bønhøre, Herre min Gud,
17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] continually before me.
naar jeg siger: »Lad dem ikke glæde sig over mig, hovmode sig over min vaklende Fod!«
18 For I declare my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin.
Thi jeg staar allerede for Fald, mine Smerter minder mig stadig;
19 And my enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
thi jeg maa bekende min Skyld, maa sørge over min Synd.
20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
Mange er de, der med Urette er mine Fjender, talrige de, der hader mig uden Grund,
21 Do not forsake me, O YHWH, My God, do not be far from me,
som lønner mig godt med ondt, som staar mig imod, fordi jeg søger det gode.
22 Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
HERRE, forlad mig ikke, min Gud, hold dig ikke borte fra mig, il mig til Hjælp, o Herre, min Frelse!
