< Psalmorum 38 >

1 Psalmus David, in recordationem sabbati. Domine ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
A PSALM OF DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” YHWH, do not reprove me in Your wrath, Nor discipline me in Your fury.
2 Quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi: et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
For Your arrows have come down on me, And You let down Your hand on me.
3 Non est sanitas in carne mea a facie irae tuae: non est pax ossibus meis a facie peccatorum meorum.
Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Your indignation, Peace is not in my bones, Because of my sin.
4 Quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum: et sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me.
For my iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden—too heavy for me.
5 Putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae, a facie insipientiae meae.
Stunk—my wounds have become corrupt, Because of my folly.
6 Miser factus sum, et curvatus sum usque in finem: tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
I have been bent down, I have been bowed down—to excess, I have gone mourning all the day.
7 Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus: et non est sanitas in carne mea.
For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
8 Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis: rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
I have been feeble and struck—to excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
9 Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum: et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
Lord, all my desire [is] before You, And my sighing has not been hid from You.
10 Cor meum conturbatum est, dereliquit me virtus mea: et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
My heart [is] panting, my power has forsaken me, And the light of my eyes, Even they are not with me.
11 Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt. Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from before my plague. And my neighbors have stood far off.
12 Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates: et dolos tota die meditabantur.
And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they meditate [on] deceits all the day.
13 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiebam: et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
And I, as deaf, do not hear. And as a mute one who does not open his mouth.
14 Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens: et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
Indeed, I am as a man who does not hear, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
15 Quoniam in te Domine speravi: tu exaudies me Domine Deus meus.
Because for You, O YHWH, I have waited, You answer, O Lord my God.
16 Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei: et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
When I said, “Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot 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 annunciabo: et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
For I declare my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin.
19 Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
And my enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
20 Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis, detrahebant mihi: quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
21 Ne derelinquas me Domine Deus meus: ne discesseris a me.
Do not forsake me, O YHWH, My God, do not be far from me,
22 Intende in adiutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meae.
Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
