在痛苦中认罪祈求

大卫的记念诗。

38 耶和华啊!求你不要在忿怒中责备我,

也不要在烈怒中管教我。

因为你的箭射入我身,

你的手压住我。

因你的忿怒,我体无完肤;

因我的罪恶,我的骨头都不安妥。

我的罪孽高过我的头,

如同重担,使我担当不起。

因为我的愚昧,

我的伤口发臭流脓。

我屈身弯腰,弯到极低,

整天哀痛,到处行走。

我的两腰灼痛,

我体无完肤。

我已经疲乏无力,被压得粉碎了;

我因心里痛苦而唉哼。

主啊!我的心愿都在你面前,

我不向你隐瞒我的叹息。

10 我的心剧烈跳动,我的力量衰退;

连我眼中的光彩也消逝了。

11 我的良朋密友因我的灾祸,都站到一旁去;

我的亲人也都站得远远的。

12 那些寻索我命的,设下网罗;

那些想要害我的,口说威吓的话,

他们整天思想诡计。

13 至于我,像个聋子,不能听见;

像个哑巴,不能开口。

14 我竟变成了一个像是不能听见的人,

变成了一个口中不能反驳的人。

15 耶和华啊!我等候你;

主我的 神啊!你必应允我。

16 因为我曾说:“恐怕他们向我夸耀;

我的脚滑跌的时候,不要让他们向我夸口。”

17 我随时会跌倒,

我的痛苦常在我面前。

18 我要承认我的罪孽,

我要因我的罪忧伤。

19 但我强悍的仇敌众多,

无理憎恨我的不断增加。

20 那些以恶报善的都与我作对,

因为我追求良善。

21 耶和华啊!求你不要离弃我;

我的 神啊,求你不要远离我。

22 拯救我的主啊!

求你快来帮助我。

Psalm 38

Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger

Heading
A psalm by David. To bring to remembrance.

Opening Plea

Lord, do not rebuke me in anger.
Do not discipline me in wrath.

The Greatness of David’s Burden

Indeed, your arrows have stuck in me.
Your hand has come down on me.
There is no health in my flesh because of your rage.
There is no wellness in my bones because of my sin,
because my guilt has gone over my head.
Like a heavy burden, it is too heavy for me.
My wounds stink and ooze because of my folly.
I am drooping. I am completely bent over.
All day long I go around mourning.
Even my back burns with pain.[a]
My whole body[b] is unhealthy.
I have become numb. I am totally crushed.
I groan loudly because of my anxious thoughts.

Lord, all my needs lie before you.
My sighs are not hidden from you.

10 My heart beats quickly. My strength leaves me.
Even the light of my eyes is gone from me.
11 My loved ones and my friends stand far away
    because of the blow I have suffered.
My neighbors stand at a distance.
12 Those who pursue my life set traps.
Those who seek to harm me talk about my ruin.
All day long they plot deception.
13 I am deaf. I cannot hear.
Like a mute person, I cannot open my mouth.
14 I am like a man who cannot hear.
No response comes from his mouth.

David’s Confidence of Delivery

15 Yet I wait for you, Lord.
You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 So I said, “Do not let them celebrate because of me.
Do not let them gloat when my foot slips.”
17 Look! I am about to fall,
and I am always in pain,
18 so I declare my guilt,
and I am troubled by my sin.
19 My aggressive enemies are numerous.
Those who hate me for no reason are many.
20 Those who repay evil for good
    slander me because I pursue what is good.

Closing Plea

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord.
My God, do not be far from me.
22 Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
