The Psalms
capítulo 38
verso 1
A Psalm by David, for a memorial. Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
verso 2
For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
verso 3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
verso 4
For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
verso 5
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
verso 6
I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
verso 7
For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
verso 8
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
verso 9
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
verso 10
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
verso 11
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
verso 12
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
verso 13
But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
verso 14
Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
verso 15
For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.
verso 16
For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
verso 17
For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
verso 18
For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
verso 19
But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
verso 20
They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
verso 21
Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.
verso 22
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
