Psalm 38
New International Version
Psalm 38[a]
A psalm of David. A petition.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.(A)
2 Your arrows(B) have pierced me,
and your hand has come down on me.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health(C) in my body;
there is no soundness in my bones(D) because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed(E) me
like a burden too heavy to bear.(F)
5 My wounds(G) fester and are loathsome(H)
because of my sinful folly.(I)
6 I am bowed down(J) and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.(K)
7 My back is filled with searing pain;(L)
there is no health(M) in my body.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;(N)
I groan(O) in anguish of heart.(P)
9 All my longings(Q) lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing(R) is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds,(S) my strength fails(T) me;
even the light has gone from my eyes.(U)
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;(V)
my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,(W)
those who would harm me talk of my ruin;(X)
all day long they scheme and lie.(Y)
13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,(Z)
like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait(AA) for you;
you will answer,(AB) Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat(AC)
or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”(AD)
17 For I am about to fall,(AE)
and my pain(AF) is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;(AG)
I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies(AH) without cause[b];
those who hate me(AI) without reason(AJ) are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil(AK)
lodge accusations(AL) against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.

Sòm 38
Haitian Creole Version
38 ¶ (38:1) Se yon sòm David. Pou Bondye pa bliye nou. (38:2) Seyè, pa pini m' lè ou fache! Pa kale m' lè ou an kòlè!
2 (38:3) Ou bat mwen jouk ou blese m'. Ou kale m' byen kale.
3 (38:4) Ou te fache anpil, se sa ki fè pa gen yon pati nan kò m' ki pa malad. Mwen te peche, se sa ki fè tout zo nan kò m' ap fè m' mal.
4 (38:5) Peche m' yo fè pil, yo kouvri tèt mwen. Y'ap kraze m' tankou yon chay ki twò lou pou mwen.
5 (38:6) Malenng mwen yo santi, y'ap koule paske mwen te viv tankou moun fou.
6 (38:7) Mwen kagou, ren m' kase nèt. Tout lajounen m'ap mache tèt bese, dlo nan je.
7 (38:8) Mwen gen yon lafyèb cho sou mwen. Mwen santi mwen malad nan tout kò m'
8 (38:9) Mwen san fòs, tout zo nan kò m' kraze. Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn sitèlman m'ap soufri.
9 (38:10) Seyè, ou konnen tou sa mwen ta renmen. Ou wè jan m'ap soufri.
10 (38:11) Kè m' ap bat anpil, mwen pa kapab sipòte ankò! Ata je m', mwen pa ka louvri yo!
11 (38:12) Tout zanmi m', tout vwazinaj kanpe lwen mwen, tout fanmi m' rete lwen mwen poutèt malenng mwen an.
12 ¶ (38:13) Moun ki ta renmen wè m' mouri yo tann pèlen pou mwen. Moun ki ta renmen wè malè rive m' yo ap plede di yon bann move pawòl sou mwen. Tout lajounen, y'ap fè konplo sou mwen.
13 (38:14) Mwen menm, mwen tankou yon moun ki soudè, mwen pa tande. Mwen tankou yon moun ki bèbè, mwen pa pale.
14 (38:15) Wi, mwen pa louvri bouch mwen reponn yo paske mwen tankou yon moun ki pa tande sa y'ap di a.
15 (38:16) Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen, se ou menm ki va reponn pou mwen, o Seyè, Bondye mwen.
16 (38:17) Paske, mwen di nan kè m': -Pa kite yo fè fèt sou tèt mwen, pa kite yo moute sou mwen si pye m' chape.
17 (38:18) Mwen prèt pou m' tonbe. Doulè a pi rèd sou mwen.
18 (38:19) Mwen rekonèt mechanste mwen fè. Kè m' sere lè m' wè sa m' fè.
19 (38:20) Lènmi m' yo gwonèg, yo anpil. Se yon bann moun ki rete konsa yo pa vle wè m'.
20 (38:21) Moun sa yo rann mwen mal pou byen, yo leve kont mwen, paske m'ap chache fè byen.
21 (38:22) Pa lage m' Seyè! Bondye mwen, pa rale kò ou dèyè!
22 (38:23) Prese vin pote m' sekou, Seyè, ou menm ki delivrans mwen.
