哀陈苦况求主矜怜

38 大卫的纪念诗。

耶和华啊,求你不要在怒中责备我,不要在烈怒中惩罚我!
因为你的箭射入我身,你的手压住我。
因你的恼怒,我的肉无一完全;因我的罪过,我的骨头也不安宁。
我的罪孽高过我的头,如同重担叫我担当不起。
因我的愚昧,我的伤发臭流脓。
我疼痛,大大蜷曲,终日哀痛。
我满腰是火,我的肉无一完全。
我被压伤,身体疲倦;因心里不安,我就唉哼。
主啊,我的心愿都在你面前,我的叹息不向你隐瞒。
10 我心跳动,我力衰微,连我眼中的光也没有了。
11 我的良朋密友因我的灾病都躲在旁边站着,我的亲戚本家也远远地站立。
12 那寻索我命的设下网罗,那想要害我的口出恶言,终日思想诡计。
13 但我如聋子不听,像哑巴不开口。
14 我如不听见的人,口中没有回话。
15 耶和华啊,我仰望你!主我的神啊,你必应允我!
16 我曾说:“恐怕他们向我夸耀,我失脚的时候,他们向我夸大。”
17 我几乎跌倒,我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 我要承认我的罪孽,我要因我的罪忧愁。
19 但我的仇敌又活泼又强壮,无理恨我的增多了。
20 以恶报善的与我作对,因我是追求良善。
21 耶和华啊,求你不要撇弃我!我的神啊,求你不要远离我!
22 拯救我的主啊,求你快快帮助我!

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。
因為你的箭射穿我,
你的手擊打我。
你的怒氣使我渾身是病,
我的罪惡使我骨頭朽爛。
我的罪惡滔天,使我不堪其重。
我因愚昧而傷口潰爛流膿。
我疼得彎腰駝背,
終日哀傷。
我的腰灼痛難忍,
我渾身是病。
我精疲力盡,徹底崩潰;
我心中悲傷,呻吟不止。
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

Prayer of a Suffering Sinner

A psalm of David to bring remembrance.(A)

Lord, do not punish me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.(B)
For your arrows have sunk into me,
and your hand has pressed down on me.(C)

There is no soundness in my body
because of your indignation;
there is no health[a] in my bones
because of my sin.(D)
For my iniquities have flooded over my head;
they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.(E)
My wounds are foul and festering
because of my foolishness.(F)
I am bent over and brought very low;
all day long I go around in mourning.(G)
For my insides are full of burning pain,
and there is no soundness in my body.(H)
I am faint and severely crushed;
I groan because of the anguish of my heart.(I)

Lord, my every desire is in front of you;
my sighing is not hidden from you.(J)
10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,
and even the light of my eyes has faded.[b](K)
11 My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,
and my relatives stand at a distance.(L)
12 Those who intend to kill me set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.(M)

13 I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.
I am like a speechless person
who does not open his mouth.(N)
14 I am like a man who does not hear
and has no arguments in his mouth.(O)
15 For I put my hope in you, Lord;
you will answer me, my Lord, my God.(P)
16 For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”(Q)
17 For I am about to fall,
and my pain is constantly with me.(R)
18 So I confess my iniquity;
I am anxious because of my sin.(S)
19 But my enemies are vigorous and powerful;[c]
many hate me for no reason.(T)
20 Those who repay evil for good
attack me for pursuing good.(U)

21 Lord, do not abandon me;
my God, do not be far from me.(V)
22 Hurry to help me,
my Lord, my salvation.(W)

  3. 38:19 Or numerous

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.
