Psalmorum 38
1 psalmus David in rememorationem de sabbato Domine ne in furore tuo arguas me neque in ira tua corripias me
O Yhwh, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi et confirmasti super me manum tuam
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 non est sanitas carni meae a facie irae tuae non est pax ossibus meis a facie peccatorum meorum
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae a facie insipientiae meae
My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque ad finem tota die contristatus ingrediebar
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt inlusionibus et non est sanitas in carne mea
For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 adflictus sum et humiliatus sum nimis rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness 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 hid from thee.
10 cor meum conturbatum est dereliquit me virtus mea et lumen oculorum meorum et ipsum non est mecum
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 amici mei et proximi mei adversus me adpropinquaverunt et steterunt et qui iuxta me erant de longe steterunt
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam et qui inquirebant mala mihi locuti sunt vanitates et dolos tota die meditabantur
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine 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 I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 et factus sum sicut homo non audiens et non habens in ore suo redargutiones
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 quoniam in te Domine speravi tu exaudies Domine Deus meus
For in thee, O Yhwh, do I hope: thou wilt hear, 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, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 quoniam ego in flagella paratus et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper
For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 quoniam iniquitatem meam adnuntiabo et cogitabo pro peccato meo
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 inimici autem mei vivent et firmati sunt super me et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique
But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi quoniam sequebar bonitatem
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21 non derelinquas me Domine Deus meus ne discesseris a me
Forsake me not, O Yhwh: O my God, be not far from me.
22 intende in adiutorium meum Domine salutis meae
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
