Psalmorum 38
1 Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato. [Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.
3 Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie iræ tuæ; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum:
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.
4 quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.
My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.
7 Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.
9 Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
10 Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.
11 Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam.
My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.
And they that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.
13 Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16 Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.
17 Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18 Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.
19 Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:
20 Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.
21 Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.
Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.
22 Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.]
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
