Psalms 38
1 [A Psalm by David, for a memorial.] LORD, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَا رَبُّ لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ، | ١ |
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
| لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ. | ٢ |
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
| اعْتَلَّ جَسَدِي لِفَرْطِ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيَّ. وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَتِي. | ٣ |
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
| طَمَتْ آثَامِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. وَصَارَتْ كَعِبْءٍ ثَقِيلٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى حَمْلِهِ. | ٤ |
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
| أَنْتَنَتْ جِرَاحِي وَسَالَ صَدِيدُهَا بِسَبَبِ جَهَالَتِي. | ٥ |
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
| انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٦ |
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
| امْتلأَ دَاخِلِي بِأَلَمٍ حَارِقٍ، فَلَا صِحَّةَ فِي جَسَدِي. | ٧ |
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
| أَنَا وَاهِنٌ وَمَسْحُوقٌ إِلَى الْغَايَةِ، وَأَئِنُّ مِنْ أَوْجَاعِ قَلْبِي الدَّفِينَةِ. | ٨ |
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
| أَمَامَكَ يَا رَبُّ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي مَكْشُوفٌ لَدَيْكَ. | ٩ |
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
| خَفَقَ قَلْبِي وَفَارَقَتْنِي قُوَّتِي، وَاضْمَحَلَّ فِيَّ نُورُ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٠ |
11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.
| وَقَفَ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي مُسْتَنْكِفِينَ مِنِّي بِسَبَبِ مُصِيبَتِي، وَتَنَحَّى أَقَارِبِي عَنِّي. | ١١ |
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
| نَصَبَ السَّاعُونَ لِقَتْلِي الْفِخَاخَ، وَطَالِبُو أَذِيَّتِي تَوَعَّدُوا بِدَمَارِي، وَتَآمَرُوا طُولَ النَّهَارِ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي. | ١٢ |
13 But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ كُنْتُ كَأَصَمَّ، لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَأَخْرَسَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ. | ١٣ |
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
| كُنْتُ كَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَمَنْ لَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ. | ١٤ |
15 For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, LORD my God.
| لأَنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ فِيكَ رَجَائِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُنِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي. | ١٥ |
16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
| قُلْتُ: «لَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي فَحَالَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَغَطْرَسُوا عَلَيَّ» | ١٦ |
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
| لأَنِّي أَكَادُ أَتَعَثَّرُ، وَوَجَعِي دَائِماً أَمَامَ نَاظِرِي. | ١٧ |
18 Yes, I confess my iniquity. I am anxious because of my sin.
| أَعْتَرِفُ جَهْراً بِإِثْمِي، وأَحْزَنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيئَتِي. | ١٨ |
19 But my enemies, for no reason, are many. Those who hate me wrongfully are numerous.
| أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَيَفِيضُونَ حَيَوِيَّةً. تَجَبَّرُوا وَكَثُرَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْماً. | ١٩ |
20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
| وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Do not forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be far from me.
| لَا تَنْبِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي. | ٢١ |
22 Hurry to help me, LORD, my salvation.
| أَسْرِعْ لِنَجْدَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا مُخَلِّصِي. | ٢٢ |
