| 38:1 | 〔大衛的記念詩。〕耶和華阿、求你不要在怒中責備我.不要在烈怒中懲罰我。 | O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. |
| 38:2 | 因為你的箭射入我身、你的手壓住我。 | For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. |
| 38:3 | 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。 | There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. |
| 38:4 | 我的罪孽高過我的頭、如同重擔叫我擔當不起。 | For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. |
| 38:5 | 因我的愚昧、我的傷發臭流膿。 | My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. |
| 38:6 | 我疼痛、大大拳曲、終日哀痛。 | I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. |
| 38:7 | 我滿腰是火.我的肉無一完全。 | For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. |
| 38:8 | 我被壓傷、身體疲倦.因心裏不安、我就唉哼。 | I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. |
| 38:9 | 主阿、我的心願都在你面前.我的歎息不向你隱瞞。 | Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. |
| 38:10 | 我心跳動、我力衰微、連我眼中的光、也沒有了。 | My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. |
| 38:11 | 我的良朋密友、因我的災病、都躲在旁邊站着.我的親戚本家、也遠遠的站立。 | My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. |
| 38:12 | 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。 | 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. |
| 38:13 | 但我如聾子不聽、像啞巴不開口。 | But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. |
| 38:14 | 我如不聽見的人、口中沒有回話。 | Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. |
| 38:15 | 耶和華阿、我仰望你.主我的 神阿、你必應允我。 | For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. |
| 38:16 | 我曾說、恐怕他們向我誇耀.我失腳的時候、他們向我誇大。 | For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. |
| 38:17 | 我幾乎跌倒.我的痛苦常在我面前。 | For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. |
| 38:18 | 我要承認我的罪孽.我要因我的罪憂愁。 | For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. |
| 38:19 | 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯.無理恨我的增多了。 | But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
| 38:20 | 以惡報善的與我作對、因我是追求良善。 | They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. |
| 38:21 | 耶和華阿、求你不要撇棄我.我的 神阿、求你不要遠離我。 | Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. |
| 38:22 | 拯救我的主阿、求你快快幫助我。 | Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. |
