Psalm 38
American Standard Version
Prayer of a suffering penitent.
A Psalm of David, [a]to bring to remembrance.
38 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows [b]stick fast in me,
And thy hand [c]presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;
Neither is there any [d]health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head:
As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
Because of my foolishness.
6 I am [e]pained and bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with burning;
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am faint and sore bruised:
I have [f]groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;
And my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;
And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And meditate deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not;
And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,
And in whose mouth are no [g]reproofs.
15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:
Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:
When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity;
I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;
And they that hate me [h]wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good
Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah:
O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation.

Psalm 38
King James Version
38 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
Псалтир 38
Библия, синодално издание
Началнику на хора, Идитуму. Псалом Давидов.
1-2 (A)(B) Рекох си: ще пазя пътищата си, за да не сгреша с езика си, ще обуздавам устата си, додето нечестивият е пред мене.
3 (C)Бях ням и безгласен, и мълчах дори за доброто; и скръбта ми се усили.
4 (D)Пламна сърцето ми в мене, огън се разгоря в мислите ми; заговорих с езика си:
5 (E)кажи ми, Господи, моя край, и какво е числото на моите дни, за да зная, какъв е векът ми.
6 (F)Ето, Ти си ми дал дни колкото педя, и векът ми е като нищо пред Тебе. Наистина, пълна суета е всеки човек, който живее.
7 (G)Наистина, човек ходи като привидение; напразно се лута, събира и не знае, кому ще се падне то.
8 И сега какво да очаквам, Господи? надеждата ми е на Тебе.
9 Избави ме от всичките ми беззакония, не ме предавай на безумния за охулване.
10 (H)Станах ням, не си отварям устата, защото Ти направи това.
11 Отклони от мене Твоите удари, аз изчезвам от Твоята поразяваща ръка.
12 (I)Ако чрез изобличения наказваш човека за престъпления, то неговата хубост ще се развали като от молци. Тъй всеки човек е суетен!
13 (J)Чуй, Господи, молитвата ми и дай ухо на моите вопли, не бъди безмълвен към моите сълзи, защото съм странник у Тебе и пришълец, както и всичките ми отци.
14 Отстъпи от мене, за да мога да се подкрепя, преди да замина и да ме няма вече.
