诗篇 38
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
受苦者的祈求
大卫求上帝眷顾的诗。
38 耶和华啊，
求你不要在发怒时惩罚我，
不要在烈怒下管教我。
2 因为你的箭射穿我，
你的手击打我。
3 你的怒气使我浑身是病，
我的罪恶使我骨头朽烂。
4 我的罪恶滔天，使我不堪其重。
5 我因愚昧而伤口溃烂流脓。
6 我疼得弯腰驼背，
终日哀伤。
7 我的腰灼痛难忍，
我浑身是病。
8 我精疲力尽，彻底崩溃；
我心中悲伤，呻吟不止。
9 主啊，你知道我的渴望，
听见了我的叹息。
10 我的心砰砰直跳，
气力衰竭，
眼睛黯淡无光。
11 因我的疾病，朋友同伴回避我，
亲人远离我。
12 谋害我的人设下陷阱，
想害我的人威胁我，
整天图谋奸计。
13 但我像听不见的聋子，
无法说话的哑巴。
14 我就像一个不能听、不能辩的人。
15 耶和华啊，我等候你；
主，我的上帝啊，你必应允我。
16 我曾求告你，
别让他们幸灾乐祸，
在我失脚时沾沾自喜。
17 我快要跌倒，
我的痛苦无休无止。
18 我要承认我的罪过，
罪恶使我心里惴惴不安。
19 我的仇敌势力强大，
无故恨我的人不计其数。
20 我追求良善，
他们就恨我，以恶报善。
21 耶和华啊，求你不要撇弃我！
我的上帝啊，求你不要远离我！
22 拯救我的主啊，
求你快来帮助我！
Psalm 38
Easy-to-Read Version
A song of David for the day of remembrance.[a]
38 Lord, don’t criticize me when you are angry.
Don’t discipline me in anger.
2 You have hurt me.
You punished me and hurt me deeply.
3 You punished me severely, so my whole body is sore.
I sinned, and now all my bones hurt.
4 My guilt is like a heavy burden.
I am sinking beneath its weight.
5 I did a foolish thing,
and now I have infected sores that stink.
6 I am bent and bowed down.
I am depressed all day long.
7 I am burning with fever,
and my whole body hurts.
8 I hurt so much I cannot feel anything.
My pounding heart makes me scream!
9 My Lord, you heard my groaning.
You can hear my sighs.
10 My heart is pounding.
My strength is gone, and I am going blind.[b]
11 Because of my sickness,
my friends and neighbors will not visit me;
my family will not come near me.
12 My enemies say bad things about me.
They are spreading lies and rumors.
They talk about me all the time.
13 But I am like a deaf man and cannot hear.
I am like someone who cannot speak.
14 I am like those who cannot hear what people are saying about them.
I cannot answer to prove my enemies wrong.
15 Lord, you must defend me.
Lord my God, you must speak for me.
16 That’s why I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies smile at my pain.
Full of pride, they will laugh if I stumble and fall.”
17 I know I am guilty of doing wrong.
I cannot forget my pain.
18 Lord, I told you about the evil I have done.
I am sorry for my sin.
19 But my enemies are alive and healthy,
and they have told many lies.
20 I did nothing but good,
and they paid me back with evil.
I try to do what is right,
but that only makes them turn against me.
21 Lord, don’t leave me.
My God, stay close to me.
22 Come quickly and help me.
My Lord, you are the one who saves me.
