Psalms 38

1 A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

1 耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我， 不要在烈怒中懲罰我！

2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

2 因為，你的箭射入我身； 你的手壓住我。

3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

3 因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全； 因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。

4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

4 我的罪孽高過我的頭， 如同重擔叫我擔當不起。

5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.

5 因我的愚昧， 我的傷發臭流膿。

6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.

6 我疼痛，大大拳曲， 終日哀痛。

7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

7 我滿腰是火； 我的肉無一完全。

8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

8 我被壓傷，身體疲倦； 因心裏不安，我就唉哼。

9 O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

9 主啊，我的心願都在你面前； 我的歎息不向你隱瞞。

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

10 我心跳動，我力衰微， 連我眼中的光也沒有了。

11 My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

11 我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站着； 我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。

12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

12 那尋索我命的設下網羅； 那想要害我的口出惡言， 終日思想詭計。

13 But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

13 但我如聾子不聽， 像啞巴不開口。

14 I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.

14 我如不聽見的人， 口中沒有回話。

15 I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

15 耶和華啊，我仰望你！ 主－我的上帝啊，你必應允我！

16 For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

16 我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀； 我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。

17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

17 我幾乎跌倒； 我的痛苦常在我面前。

18 Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

18 我要承認我的罪孽； 我要因我的罪憂愁。

19 Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

19 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯， 無理恨我的增多了。

20 Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

20 以惡報善的與我作對， 因我是追求良善。

21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

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 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.

22 拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！
