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.
Mazmur Daud waktu mempersembahkan kurban peringatan. TUHAN, jangan menghukum aku dalam kemarahan-Mu, jangan menyiksa aku dalam kemurkaan-Mu.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
Panah-Mu menembus melukai tubuhku, tangan-Mu terasa berat menekan aku.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Aku sakit parah karena kemarahan-Mu; tak ada yang sehat pada tubuhku karena dosaku.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Aku tenggelam dalam banjir kesalahanku, beban dosaku terlalu berat bagiku.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
Luka-lukaku bernanah dan berbau busuk, karena aku telah berlaku bodoh.
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
Aku tertunduk dan terbungkuk, sepanjang hari aku murung dan sedih.
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
Demam membakar tubuhku, tak ada yang sehat pada badanku.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
Aku remuk-redam dan kehabisan tenaga, aku merintih karena hatiku resah.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
TUHAN, Engkau tahu segala keinginanku, keluh kesahku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
Jantungku berdebar-debar, tenagaku hilang, mataku sudah menjadi pudar.
11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.
Handai-taulanku menghindar karena penyakitku, bahkan kaum kerabatku menjauhi aku.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
Orang yang ingin membunuh aku memasang jerat bagiku; yang ingin mencelakakan aku mengancam hendak menumpas aku.
13 But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
Tetapi aku seperti orang tuli yang tidak mendengar, seperti orang bisu yang tidak bicara.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Sungguh, aku seperti orang yang tidak mendengar, dan karena itu tidak membantah.
15 For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, LORD my God.
Tetapi aku berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan Engkau, TUHAN Allahku, menjawab aku.
16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
Jangan biarkan musuhku senang melihat kesusahanku, jangan biarkan mereka membual bila aku goyah.
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
Aku hampir saja jatuh, terus menerus aku kesakitan.
18 Yes, I confess my iniquity. I am anxious because of my sin.
Aku mengakui dosa-dosaku; hatiku cemas memikirkan kesalahanku.
19 But my enemies, for no reason, are many. Those who hate me wrongfully are numerous.
Orang-orang yang memusuhi aku banyak dan kuat, mereka membenci cara hidupku.
20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
Orang yang membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan memusuhi aku karena aku melakukan yang baik.
21 Do not forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be far from me.
Ya TUHAN, jangan meninggalkan aku, jangan jauh daripadaku, ya Allahku.
22 Hurry to help me, LORD, my salvation.
Datanglah segera menolong aku, ya TUHAN penyelamatku.
