Mazmur 38
1 Mazmur Daud waktu mempersembahkan kurban peringatan. TUHAN, jangan menghukum aku dalam kemarahan-Mu, jangan menyiksa aku dalam kemurkaan-Mu.
A Melody of David. To bring to Remembrance. O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;
2 Panah-Mu menembus melukai tubuhku, tangan-Mu terasa berat menekan aku.
For, thine arrows, have sunk down into me, and thy hand, presseth heavily upon me.
3 Aku sakit parah karena kemarahan-Mu; tak ada yang sehat pada tubuhku karena dosaku.
There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;
4 Aku tenggelam dalam banjir kesalahanku, beban dosaku terlalu berat bagiku.
For, mine iniquities, have passed over my head, Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me:
5 Luka-lukaku bernanah dan berbau busuk, karena aku telah berlaku bodoh.
My wounds are of bad odour—they have festered, by reason of my folly:
6 Aku tertunduk dan terbungkuk, sepanjang hari aku murung dan sedih.
I am bent, I am bowed down very low. All the day, have I gloomily walked;
7 Demam membakar tubuhku, tak ada yang sehat pada badanku.
For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:
8 Aku remuk-redam dan kehabisan tenaga, aku merintih karena hatiku resah.
I am benumbed and crushed exceedingly, —I have cried aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
9 TUHAN, Engkau tahu segala keinginanku, keluh kesahku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:
10 Jantungku berdebar-debar, tenagaku hilang, mataku sudah menjadi pudar.
My heart, fluttereth, my strength hath forsaken me, and, as for the light of mine eyes, even they, are not with me:
11 Handai-taulanku menghindar karena penyakitku, bahkan kaum kerabatku menjauhi aku.
My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, —and, my near ones, far away, do stand:
12 Orang yang ingin membunuh aku memasang jerat bagiku; yang ingin mencelakakan aku mengancam hendak menumpas aku.
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.
13 Tetapi aku seperti orang tuli yang tidak mendengar, seperti orang bisu yang tidak bicara.
But, I, as one deaf, will not hear, —and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:
14 Sungguh, aku seperti orang yang tidak mendengar, dan karena itu tidak membantah.
Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:
15 Tetapi aku berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan Engkau, TUHAN Allahku, menjawab aku.
Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, my God!
16 Jangan biarkan musuhku senang melihat kesusahanku, jangan biarkan mereka membual bila aku goyah.
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me! When my feet were tottering, against me, have they magnified themselves:
17 Aku hampir saja jatuh, terus menerus aku kesakitan.
For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;
18 Aku mengakui dosa-dosaku; hatiku cemas memikirkan kesalahanku.
For, mine iniquity, will I declare, I shall be anxious because of my sin;
19 Orang-orang yang memusuhi aku banyak dan kuat, mereka membenci cara hidupku.
And, my foes, are alive—have become strong, —and multiplied are they who hate me for false cause:
20 Orang yang membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan memusuhi aku karena aku melakukan yang baik.
Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.
21 Ya TUHAN, jangan meninggalkan aku, jangan jauh daripadaku, ya Allahku.
Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:
22 Datanglah segera menolong aku, ya TUHAN penyelamatku.
Make haste to help me, My Lord, my deliverance!
