< Psalms 38 >
1 A Melody of David. To bring to Remembrance. O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;
A psalm of David to make remembrance. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and in wrath your may you chasten me.
2 For, thine arrows, have sunk down into me, and thy hand, presseth heavily upon me.
For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;
There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.
4 For, mine iniquities, have passed over my head, Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me:
For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.
5 My wounds are of bad odour—they have festered, by reason of my folly:
They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.
6 I am bent, I am bowed down very low. All the day, have I gloomily walked;
I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.
7 For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:
For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.
8 I am benumbed and crushed exceedingly, —I have cried aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.
9 O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:
O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.
10 My heart, fluttereth, my strength hath forsaken me, and, as for the light of mine eyes, even they, are not with me:
Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.
11 My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, —and, my near ones, far away, do stand:
Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.
12 Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things—all day long, do they mutter.
And they set traps - [those who] seek life my and [those who] seek harm my they have spoken destruction and deceit all the day they devise.
13 But, I, as one deaf, will not hear, —and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:
And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.
14 Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:
And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.
15 Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, my God!
For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.
16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me! When my feet were tottering, against me, have they magnified themselves:
For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.
17 For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;
For I for stumbling [am] prepared and pain my [is] before me continually.
18 For, mine iniquity, will I declare, I shall be anxious because of my sin;
For iniquity my I tell I am anxious from sin my.
19 And, my foes, are alive—have become strong, —and multiplied are they who hate me for false cause:
And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.
20 Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.
And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.
21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:
May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.
22 Make haste to help me, My Lord, my deliverance!
Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
