詩篇

第 38 章

1. 〔大衛的紀念詩。〕耶和華阿、求你不要在怒中責備我．不要在烈怒中懲罰我。
A psalm of David. A petition. O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2. 因為你的箭射入我身、你的手壓住我。
For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
3. 因你的惱怒、我的肉無一完全．因我的罪過、我的骨頭也不安寧。
Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
4. 我的罪孽高過我的頭、如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
5. 因我的愚昧、我的傷發臭流膿。
My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
6. 我疼痛、大大拳曲、終日哀痛。
I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
7. 我滿腰是火．我的肉無一完全。
My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8. 我被壓傷、身體疲倦．因心裡不安、我就唉哼。
I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9. 主阿、我的心願都在你面前．我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10. 我心跳動、我力衰微、連我眼中的光、也沒有了。
My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11. 我的良朋密友、因我的災病、都躲在旁邊站著．我的親戚本家、也遠遠的站立。
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12. 那尋索我命的、設下網羅．那想要害我的、口出惡言、終日思想詭計。
Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
13. 但我如聾子不聽、像啞巴不開口。
I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
14. 我如不聽見的人、口中沒有回話。
I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15. 耶和華阿、我仰望你．主我的　神阿、你必應允我。
I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
16. 我曾說、恐怕他們向我誇耀．我失腳的時候、他們向我誇大。
For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17. 我幾乎跌倒．我的痛苦常在我面前。
For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18. 我要承認我的罪孽．我要因我的罪憂愁。
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19. 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯．無理恨我的增多了。
Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20. 以惡報善的與我作對、因我是追求良善。
Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
21. 耶和華阿、求你不要撇棄我．我的　神阿、求你不要遠離我。
O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
22. 拯救我的主阿、求你快快幫助我。
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
