תהילים 38

1 מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ יְֽהֹוָה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃

O YHWH, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 כִּֽי־חִצֶּיךָ נִחֲתוּ בִי וַתִּנְחַת עָלַי יָדֶֽךָ׃

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

3 אֵין־מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵי זַעְמֶךָ אֵין־שָׁלוֹם בַּעֲצָמַי מִפְּנֵי חַטָּאתִֽי׃

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 כִּי עֲוֺנֹתַי עָֽבְרוּ רֹאשִׁי כְּמַשָּׂא כָבֵד יִכְבְּדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 הִבְאִישׁוּ נָמַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָי מִפְּנֵי אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6 נַעֲוֵיתִי שַׁחֹתִי עַד־מְאֹד כׇּל־הַיּוֹם קֹדֵר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7 כִּֽי־כְסָלַי מָלְאוּ נִקְלֶה וְאֵין מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 נְפוּגוֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּיתִי עַד־מְאֹד שָׁאַגְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַת לִבִּֽי׃

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9 אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇל־תַּאֲוָתִי וְאַנְחָתִי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃

YHWH, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10 לִבִּי סְחַרְחַר עֲזָבַנִי כֹחִי וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַי גַּם־הֵם אֵין אִתִּֽי׃

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 אֹֽהֲבַי ׀ וְרֵעַי מִנֶּגֶד נִגְעִי יַעֲמֹדוּ וּקְרוֹבַי מֵרָחֹק עָמָֽדוּ׃

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 וַיְנַקְשׁוּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי וְדֹרְשֵׁי רָעָתִי דִּבְּרוּ הַוּוֹת וּמִרְמוֹת כׇּל־הַיּוֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

13 וַאֲנִי כְחֵרֵשׁ לֹא אֶשְׁמָע וּכְאִלֵּם לֹא יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14 וָאֱהִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שֹׁמֵעַ וְאֵין בְּפִיו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 כִּֽי־לְךָ יְהֹוָה הוֹחָלְתִּי אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהָֽי׃

For in thee, O YHWH, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O YHWH my Elohim.

16 כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי בְּמוֹט רַגְלִי עָלַי הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17 כִּֽי־אֲנִי לְצֶלַע נָכוֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18 כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִי אַגִּיד אֶדְאַג מֵחַטָּאתִֽי׃

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19 וְֽאֹיְבַי חַיִּים עָצֵמוּ וְרַבּוּ שֹׂנְאַי שָֽׁקֶר׃

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 וּמְשַׁלְּמֵי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה יִשְׂטְנוּנִי תַּחַת (רדופי) [רׇֽדְפִי־]טֽוֹב׃

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21 אַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

Forsake me not, O YHWH: O my Elohim, be not far from me.

22 חוּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִי אֲדֹנָי תְּשׁוּעָתִֽי׃

Make haste to help me, O YHWH my salvation.
