38:1 |
<> Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. |
38:2 |
For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me. |
38:3 |
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. |
38:4 |
For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. |
38:5 |
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness. |
38:6 |
I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long. |
38:7 |
For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh. |
38:8 |
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart. |
38:9 |
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you. |
38:10 |
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me. |
38:11 |
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away. |
38:12 |
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long. |
38:13 |
But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth. |
38:14 |
Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs. |
38:15 |
For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God. |
38:16 |
For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips." |
38:17 |
For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me. |
38:18 |
For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin. |
38:19 |
But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous. |
38:20 |
They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good. |
38:21 |
Don't forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don't be far from me. |
38:22 |
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation. |
