Psalms 38
1 Yahweh, when you are angry [with me], do not rebuke/scold me and punish me!
大卫的纪念诗。 耶和华啊，求你不要在怒中责备我， 不要在烈怒中惩罚我！
2 [Now it is as though] you have shot your arrows at me and wounded me; you have struck me and knocked me down.
因为，你的箭射入我身； 你的手压住我。
3 Because you have been angry with me, I am suffering great pain. Because of my sin, my whole body is diseased.
因你的恼怒，我的肉无一完全； 因我的罪过，我的骨头也不安宁。
4 All my sins are [like a flood] that covers my head; they are like a load that is very heavy, with the result that I cannot carry it.
我的罪孽高过我的头， 如同重担叫我担当不起。
5 Because I have done foolish things, I have sores that have become worse, and they stink.
因我的愚昧， 我的伤发臭流脓。
6 [Sometimes] I am bent over, and [sometimes] I lie prostrate; I am sad/cry all day.
我疼痛，大大拳曲， 终日哀痛。
7 My body is burning with fever, and I am very ill.
我满腰是火； 我的肉无一完全。
8 I am completely exhausted, and I have no strength. I am very distressed, and I groan with pain.
我被压伤，身体疲倦； 因心里不安，我就唉哼。
9 Yahweh, you know that I desire [to be healed]; you hear me while I am groaning.
主啊，我的心愿都在你面前； 我的叹息不向你隐瞒。
10 My heat is pounding heavily, and all my strength is gone. I am no longer able to see well.
我心跳动，我力衰微， 连我眼中的光也没有了。
11 My friends and neighbors stay away from me because of my sores; even my own family stays away from me.
我的良朋密友因我的灾病都躲在旁边站着； 我的亲戚本家也远远地站立。
12 And those who want to kill me set traps to catch me; those who want to harm me discuss ways to get rid of me; they plot against me all day.
那寻索我命的设下网罗； 那想要害我的口出恶言， 终日思想诡计。
13 Now I act like I’m deaf, and do not listen [to what they say]. I act like I cannot talk, so I say nothing [to reply to them].
但我如聋子不听， 像哑巴不开口。
14 I act like a man who does not answer [when people talk to him], because he cannot hear anything.
我如不听见的人， 口中没有回话。
15 But Yahweh, I trust in you. My Lord God, you will answer me.
耶和华啊，我仰望你！ 主—我的 神啊，你必应允我！
16 I said to you, “Do not cause [me to die, with the result that] my enemies will rejoice! Do not cause me to stumble, with the result that they will be very happy!”
我曾说：恐怕他们向我夸耀； 我失脚的时候，他们向我夸大。
17 I say that because I am about to fall down, and I constantly have pain.
我几乎跌倒； 我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 I confess the wrong things that I have done; I am [very] sorry for the sins that I have committed.
我要承认我的罪孽； 我要因我的罪忧愁。
19 My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many people who hate me for no reason.
但我的仇敌又活泼又强壮， 无理恨我的增多了。
20 Those who do evil things to me in return for my doing good things to them oppose me because I try to do what is right.
以恶报善的与我作对， 因我是追求良善。
21 Yahweh, do not abandon me! My God, do not stay far from me!
耶和华啊，求你不要撇弃我！ 我的 神啊，求你不要远离我！
22 Lord, you are the one who saves/rescues me; Quickly [come and] help me!
拯救我的主啊，求你快快帮助我！
