The Psalms

capitolul 38


Capitole:


versetul 1

A Psalm by David, for a memorial. Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.


versetul 2

For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.


versetul 3

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.


versetul 4

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.


versetul 5

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.


versetul 6

I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.


versetul 7

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.


versetul 8

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.


versetul 9

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.


versetul 10

My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.


versetul 11

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.


versetul 12

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.


versetul 13

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.


versetul 14

Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.


versetul 15

For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.


versetul 16

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”


versetul 17

For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.


versetul 18

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.


versetul 19

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.


versetul 20

They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.


versetul 21

Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.


versetul 22

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
