Psalmorum 38
1 Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato. Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:
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 quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong 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 health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
4 quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.
For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
5 Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.
My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
6 Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
7 Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
8 Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning 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 groaning is not hidden from thee.
10 Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not 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 friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
12 Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.
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 Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
14 Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
15 Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, 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: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
17 Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.
19 Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
21 Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.
Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
22 Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.
Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
