詩篇 38
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
受苦者的祈求
大衛求上帝眷顧的詩。
38 耶和華啊,
求你不要在發怒時懲罰我,
不要在烈怒下管教我。
2 因為你的箭射穿我,
你的手擊打我。
3 你的怒氣使我渾身是病,
我的罪惡使我骨頭朽爛。
4 我的罪惡滔天,使我不堪其重。
5 我因愚昧而傷口潰爛流膿。
6 我疼得彎腰駝背,
終日哀傷。
7 我的腰灼痛難忍,
我渾身是病。
8 我精疲力盡,徹底崩潰;
我心中悲傷,呻吟不止。
9 主啊,你知道我的渴望,
聽見了我的歎息。
10 我的心砰砰直跳,
氣力衰竭,
眼睛黯淡無光。
11 因我的疾病,朋友同伴迴避我,
親人遠離我。
12 謀害我的人設下陷阱,
想害我的人威脅我,
整天圖謀奸計。
13 但我像聽不見的聾子,
無法說話的啞巴。
14 我就像一個不能聽、不能辯的人。
15 耶和華啊,我等候你;
主,我的上帝啊,你必應允我。
16 我曾求告你,
別讓他們幸災樂禍,
在我失腳時沾沾自喜。
17 我快要跌倒,
我的痛苦無休無止。
18 我要承認我的罪過,
罪惡使我心裡惴惴不安。
19 我的仇敵勢力強大,
無故恨我的人不計其數。
20 我追求良善,
他們就恨我,以惡報善。
21 耶和華啊,求你不要撇棄我!
我的上帝啊,求你不要遠離我!
22 拯救我的主啊,
求你快來幫助我!
Psalm 38
King James Version
38 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 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.
