Псалом, посветен на покаянието

38 Псалом на Давид. За възпоменателна жертва.

(A)[a] Господи, в яростта Си не ме изобличавай
и в гнева Си не ме наказвай,
(B)защото Твоите стрели ме улучиха
и Твоята ръка тежи върху мене.
(C)Няма здраво място в плътта ми, понеже Ти си разгневен.
Няма спокойствие за моите кости заради греховете ми,
(D)защото моите беззакония надвишиха главата ми,
като тежък товар ме притиснаха.
Вонят и гноясват моите рани
поради безумието ми.
Аз се прегърбих и съвсем се наведох,
цял ден ходя нажален,
(E)защото цял се треса от треска
и нищо здраво няма в тялото ми.
Изнемощях и съвсем съм разбит;
аз викам от мъките на своето сърце.
10 (F)Господи, пред Тебе са всичките ми желания
и моето стенание не е скрито от Тебе.
11 Сърцето ми бие силно; моите сили ме напуснаха,
изчезва и светлината на очите ми.
12 (G)Моите приятели и моите близки се отдалечиха заради раните ми
и моите роднини ме избягват.
13 А онези, които посягат на живота ми, слагат примки и които ми желаят зло,
говорят за моето загиване
и замислят коварства всеки ден.
14 (H)Но аз като глух – не чувам,
и съм като ням, който не отваря устата си.
15 Станах като човек, който не чува,
и няма в устата си отговор,
16 защото на Тебе, Господи, се уповавам; Ти ще ме чуеш, Господи, Боже мой.
17 (I)И аз казах: „Нека да не тържествуват над мене моите врагове;
когато кракът ми се подхлъзне, да не важничат над мене.
18 Близко съм до това да падна
и страданието не ме напуска никога.
19 (J)Беззаконието си признавам,
съкрушен съм заради греха си.
20 А онези, които враждуват с мене без причина, са силни;
онези, които ме ненавиждат без вина, са многобройни.
21 (K)Те ми отвръщат със зло за доброто, враждуват против мене,
защото следвам доброто.
22 (L)Господи, Боже мой, не ме изоставяй,
не се отдалечавай от мене;
23 (M)Господи, Спасителю мой,
побързай ми на помощ!“

  1. 38:2 В Цариградската Библия 38:2 е част от 38:1.

Zermürbt von Krankheit und Schuld

38 Ein Lied von David, um sich bei Gott in Erinnerung zu bringen.

Herr, du lässt mich deinen Zorn spüren.
    Ich flehe dich an: Strafe mich nicht länger!
Deine Pfeile haben sich in mich hineingebohrt,
    deine Hand drückt mich nieder.
Weil ich unter deinem Strafgericht leide,
habe ich keine heile Stelle mehr am Körper.
    Weil mich die Sünde anklagt, sind alle meine Glieder krank.
Meine Schuld ist mir über den Kopf gewachsen.
    Wie schwer ist diese Last! Ich breche unter ihr zusammen.
Wie dumm war ich, dich zu vergessen!
    Das habe ich nun davon: Meine Wunden eitern und stinken!
Gekrümmt und von Leid zermürbt
    schleppe ich mich in tiefer Trauer durch den Tag.
Von Fieber bin ich geschüttelt,
    die Haut ist mit Geschwüren übersät.
Zerschlagen liege ich da, am Ende meiner Kraft.
    Vor Verzweiflung kann ich nur noch stöhnen.

10 Herr, du kennst meine Sehnsucht,
    du hörst mein Seufzen!
11 Mein Herz rast, ich bin völlig erschöpft,
    und meine Augen versagen mir den Dienst.
12 Meine Freunde und Nachbarn ziehen sich zurück
wegen des Unglücks, das über mich hereingebrochen ist.
    Sogar meine Verwandten gehen mir aus dem Weg.
13 Meine Todfeinde stellen mir Fallen,
sie wollen mich verleumden und zugrunde richten.
    Ja, sie bringen mich in Verruf, wann immer sie nur können.
14 Und ich? Ich tue so, als hätte ich nichts gehört;
    ich schweige zu ihren Anklagen wie ein Stummer.
15 Ich stelle mich taub
    und gebe ihnen keine Antwort.

16 Denn auf dich, Herr, hoffe ich,
    du wirst ihnen die passende Antwort geben,
    mein Herr und mein Gott!
17 Lass nicht zu, dass sie über mich triumphieren
    und sich über mein Unglück freuen!
18 Es fehlt nicht mehr viel, und ich liege am Boden,
    ständig werde ich von Schmerzen gequält.
19 Ich bekenne dir meine Schuld,
    denn meine Sünde macht mir schwer zu schaffen.
20 Übermächtig sind meine Feinde, und es gibt viele,
    die mich ohne jeden Grund hassen.
21 Sie vergelten mir Gutes mit Bösem und feinden mich an,
    weil ich das Gute tun will.

22 Herr, verlass mich nicht!
    Mein Gott, bleib nicht fern von mir!
23 Komm und hilf mir schnell!
    Du bist doch mein Herr und mein Retter!

Psalm 38[a]

A psalm of David. A petition.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.(A)
Your arrows(B) have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
Because of your wrath there is no health(C) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones(D) because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed(E) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(F)

My wounds(G) fester and are loathsome(H)
    because of my sinful folly.(I)
I am bowed down(J) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.(K)
My back is filled with searing pain;(L)
    there is no health(M) in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;(N)
    I groan(O) in anguish of heart.(P)

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.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;(AM)
    do not be far(AN) from me, my God.
22 Come quickly(AO) to help me,(AP)
    my Lord and my Savior.(AQ)

  1. Psalm 38:1 In Hebrew texts 38:1-22 is numbered 38:2-23.
  2. Psalm 38:19 One Dead Sea Scrolls manuscript; Masoretic Text my vigorous enemies

38 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 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 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Prayer in Time of Chastening

A Psalm of David. (A)To bring to remembrance.

38 O Lord, do not (B)rebuke me in Your wrath,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!
For Your arrows pierce me deeply,
And Your hand presses me down.

There is no soundness in my flesh
Because of Your anger,
Nor any health in my bones
Because of my sin.
For my iniquities have gone over my head;
Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
My wounds are foul and festering
Because of my foolishness.

I am [a]troubled, I am bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.
For my loins are full of inflammation,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
I am feeble and severely broken;
I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me;
As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.

11 My loved ones and my friends (C)stand aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand afar off.
12 Those also who seek my life lay snares for me;
Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,
And plan deception all the day long.

13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth is no response.

15 For [b]in You, O Lord, (D)I hope;
You will [c]hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me,
Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”

17 (E)For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will (F)declare my iniquity;
I will be (G)in [d]anguish over my sin.
19 But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong;
And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
20 Those also (H)who render evil for good,
They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord;
O my God, (I)be not far from me!
22 Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
