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。

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。

Prayer of a Suffering Penitent.

A Psalm of David, for a memorial.

38 Lord, (A)do not rebuke me in Your wrath,
And do not punish me in Your burning anger.
For Your (B)arrows have sunk deep into me,
And (C)Your hand has pressed down on me.
There is (D)no healthy part in my flesh (E)because of Your indignation;
There is no health (F)in my bones because of my sin.
For my (G)guilty deeds have gone over my head;
Like a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
My [a]wounds grow foul and fester
Because of (H)my foolishness.
I am bent over and (I)greatly bowed down;
I (J)go in mourning all day long.
For my [b]sides are filled with (K)burning,
And there is (L)no healthy part in my flesh.
I feel (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 fails 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 far away.
12 Those who (U)seek my life (V)lay snares for me;
And those who (W)seek to injure me have [j]threatened destruction,
And they (X)plot deception all day long.

13 But I, like a person who is deaf, do not hear;
And I am like a (Y)person who cannot speak, who does not open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am like a person who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 For (Z)I wait for You, Lord;
You (AA)will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, (AB)would exalt themselves over me.”
17 For I am (AC)ready to fall,
And (AD)my [k]sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I (AE)admit my guilt;
I am full of (AF)anxiety because of my sin.
19 But my (AG)enemies are vigorous and [l]strong,
And those who wrongfully (AH)hate me are many.
20 And those who (AI)repay evil for good,
They (AJ)become my enemies, because I follow what is good.
21 Do not abandon me, Lord;
My God, (AK)do not be far from me!
22 (AL)Hurry to help me,
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)
