< Mazmur 38 >
1 Mazmur Daud waktu mempersembahkan kurban peringatan. TUHAN, jangan menghukum aku dalam kemarahan-Mu, jangan menyiksa aku dalam kemurkaan-Mu.
A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
2 Panah-Mu menembus melukai tubuhku, tangan-Mu terasa berat menekan aku.
For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
3 Aku sakit parah karena kemarahan-Mu; tak ada yang sehat pada tubuhku karena dosaku.
There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
4 Aku tenggelam dalam banjir kesalahanku, beban dosaku terlalu berat bagiku.
For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
5 Luka-lukaku bernanah dan berbau busuk, karena aku telah berlaku bodoh.
My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
6 Aku tertunduk dan terbungkuk, sepanjang hari aku murung dan sedih.
I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
7 Demam membakar tubuhku, tak ada yang sehat pada badanku.
For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
8 Aku remuk-redam dan kehabisan tenaga, aku merintih karena hatiku resah.
I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
9 TUHAN, Engkau tahu segala keinginanku, keluh kesahku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
10 Jantungku berdebar-debar, tenagaku hilang, mataku sudah menjadi pudar.
My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
11 Handai-taulanku menghindar karena penyakitku, bahkan kaum kerabatku menjauhi aku.
My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
12 Orang yang ingin membunuh aku memasang jerat bagiku; yang ingin mencelakakan aku mengancam hendak menumpas aku.
And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
13 Tetapi aku seperti orang tuli yang tidak mendengar, seperti orang bisu yang tidak bicara.
But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
14 Sungguh, aku seperti orang yang tidak mendengar, dan karena itu tidak membantah.
And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
15 Tetapi aku berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan Engkau, TUHAN Allahku, menjawab aku.
For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
16 Jangan biarkan musuhku senang melihat kesusahanku, jangan biarkan mereka membual bila aku goyah.
For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
17 Aku hampir saja jatuh, terus menerus aku kesakitan.
For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 Aku mengakui dosa-dosaku; hatiku cemas memikirkan kesalahanku.
For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.
19 Orang-orang yang memusuhi aku banyak dan kuat, mereka membenci cara hidupku.
But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Orang yang membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan memusuhi aku karena aku melakukan yang baik.
They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
21 Ya TUHAN, jangan meninggalkan aku, jangan jauh daripadaku, ya Allahku.
Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
22 Datanglah segera menolong aku, ya TUHAN penyelamatku.
Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
