诗篇 38
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
在痛苦中認罪祈求
大衛的記念詩。
38 耶和華啊！求你不要在忿怒中責備我，
也不要在烈怒中管教我。
2 因為你的箭射入我身，
你的手壓住我。
3 因你的忿怒，我體無完膚；
因我的罪惡，我的骨頭都不安妥。
4 我的罪孽高過我的頭，
如同重擔，使我擔當不起。
5 因為我的愚昧，
我的傷口發臭流膿。
6 我屈身彎腰，彎到極低，
整天哀痛，到處行走。
7 我的兩腰灼痛，
我體無完膚。
8 我已經疲乏無力，被壓得粉碎了；
我因心裡痛苦而唉哼。
9 主啊！我的心願都在你面前，
我不向你隱瞞我的歎息。
10 我的心劇烈跳動，我的力量衰退；
連我眼中的光彩也消逝了。
11 我的良朋密友因我的災禍，都站到一旁去；
我的親人也都站得遠遠的。
12 那些尋索我命的，設下網羅；
那些想要害我的，口說威嚇的話，
他們整天思想詭計。
13 至於我，像個聾子，不能聽見；
像個啞巴，不能開口。
14 我竟變成了一個像是不能聽見的人，
變成了一個口中不能反駁的人。
15 耶和華啊！我等候你；
主我的 神啊！你必應允我。
16 因為我曾說：“恐怕他們向我誇耀；
我的腳滑跌的時候，不要讓他們向我誇口。”
17 我隨時會跌倒，
我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 我要承認我的罪孽，
我要因我的罪憂傷。
19 但我強悍的仇敵眾多，
無理憎恨我的不斷增加。
20 那些以惡報善的都與我作對，
因為我追求良善。
21 耶和華啊！求你不要離棄我；
我的 神啊，求你不要遠離我。
22 拯救我的主啊！
求你快來幫助我。
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.
