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。

因為你的箭射入我身,

你的手壓住我。

因你的忿怒,我體無完膚;

因我的罪惡,我的骨頭都不安妥。

我的罪孽高過我的頭,

如同重擔,使我擔當不起。

因為我的愚昧,

我的傷口發臭流膿。

我屈身彎腰,彎到極低,

整天哀痛,到處行走。

我的兩腰灼痛,

我體無完膚。

我已經疲乏無力,被壓得粉碎了;

我因心裡痛苦而唉哼。

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。

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。
因为你的箭射穿我,
你的手击打我。
你的怒气使我浑身是病,
我的罪恶使我骨头朽烂。
我的罪恶滔天,使我不堪其重。
我因愚昧而伤口溃烂流脓。
我疼得弯腰驼背,
终日哀伤。
我的腰灼痛难忍,
我浑身是病。
我精疲力尽,彻底崩溃;
我心中悲伤,呻吟不止。
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!

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!

Do Not Forsake Me, O Yahweh

A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.

38 O Yahweh, (A)reprove me not in Your wrath,
And discipline me not in Your burning anger.
For Your (B)arrows have pressed deep into me,
And (C)Your hand has pressed down upon me.
There is (D)no soundness in my flesh (E)because of Your indignation;
There is no health (F)in my bones because of my sin.
For my (G)iniquities go over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
My [a]wounds stink and rot
Because of (H)my [b]folly.
I am bent over and (I)greatly bowed down;
I (J)go mourning all day long.
For my loins are filled with (K)burning,
And there is (L)no soundness in my flesh.
I am (M)faint and [c]badly crushed;
I [d](N)groan because of the [e]agitation of my heart.

Lord, all (O)my desire is [f]before You;
And my (P)sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart throbs, (Q)my strength forsakes me;
And the (R)light of my eyes, even [g]that [h]has gone from me.
11 My [i](S)loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen (T)stand afar off.
12 Those who (U)search for my life (V)lay snares for me;
And those who (W)seek [j]to do me evil have [k]threatened destruction,
And they (X)meditate on deception all day long.

13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a (Y)mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 And I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For (Z)I [l]wait on You, O Yahweh;
You (AA)will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Save, lest they be glad over me,
Who, when my foot stumbles, (AB)magnify themselves against me.”
17 For I am (AC)ready to fall,
And (AD)my [m]sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I [n](AE)confess my iniquity;
I am full of (AF)anxiety because of my sin.
19 But my (AG)enemies are vigorous and [o]strong,
And those who wrongfully (AH)hate me abound.
20 And those who (AI)repay evil for good,
They (AJ)accuse me, for I pursue what is good.
21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh;
O my God, (AK)do not be far from me!
22 Make (AL)haste to help me,
O Lord, (AM)my salvation!

Psalm 38[a]

A psalm of David. A petition.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.(A)
Your arrows(B) have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
Because of your wrath there is no health(C) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones(D) because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed(E) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(F)

My wounds(G) fester and are loathsome(H)
    because of my sinful folly.(I)
I am bowed down(J) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.(K)
My back is filled with searing pain;(L)
    there is no health(M) in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;(N)
    I groan(O) in anguish of heart.(P)

All my longings(Q) lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing(R) is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds,(S) my strength fails(T) me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.(U)
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;(V)
    my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,(W)
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;(X)
    all day long they scheme and lie.(Y)

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,(Z)
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait(AA) for you;
    you will answer,(AB) Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat(AC)
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”(AD)

17 For I am about to fall,(AE)
    and my pain(AF) is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;(AG)
    I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies(AH) without cause[b];
    those who hate me(AI) without reason(AJ) are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil(AK)
    lodge accusations(AL) against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;(AM)
    do not be far(AN) from me, my God.
22 Come quickly(AO) to help me,(AP)
    my Lord and my Savior.(AQ)
