תהלים 38 [Commentary] 
|
| 1. |
A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath,
And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
|
| 2. |
For Your arrows have sunk deep into me,
And Your hand has pressed down on me.
|
| 3. |
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
|
| 4. |
For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
|
| 5. |
My wounds grow foul and fester
Because of my folly.
|
| 6. |
I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go mourning all day long.
|
| 7. |
For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
|
| 8. |
I am benumbed and badly crushed;
I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
|
| 9. |
Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
|
| 10. |
My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
|
| 11. |
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
|
| 12. |
Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.
|
| 13. |
But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
|
| 14. |
Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.
|
| 15. |
For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God.
|
| 16. |
For I said, "May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me."
|
| 17. |
For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
|
| 18. |
For I confess my iniquity;
I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
|
| 19. |
But my enemies are vigorous and strong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
|
| 20. |
And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
|
| 21. |
Do not forsake me, O LORD;
O my God, do not be far from me!
|
| 22. |
Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
