Psalms 38장
Prayer of an Afflicted Sinner
1
A psalm of David. For remembrance.
2
LORD, punish me no more in your anger; in your wrath do not chastise me!
3
Your arrows have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me.
4
My flesh is afflicted because of your anger; my frame aches because of my sin.
5
My iniquities overwhelm me, a burden beyond my strength.
6
Foul and festering are my sores because of my folly.
7
I am stooped and deeply bowed; all day I go about mourning.
8
My loins burn with fever; my flesh is afflicted.
9
I am numb and utterly crushed; I wail with anguish of heart.
10
My Lord, my deepest yearning is before you; my groaning is not hidden from you.
11
My heart shudders, my strength forsakes me; the very light of my eyes has failed.
12
Friends and companions shun my pain; my neighbors stand far off.
13
Those who seek my life lay snares for me; they seek my misfortune, they speak of ruin; they plot treachery all the day.
14
But I am like the deaf, hearing nothing, like the dumb, saying nothing,
15
Like someone who does not hear, who has no answer ready.
16
LORD, I wait for you; O Lord, my God, answer me.
17
For I fear they will gloat, exult over me if I stumble.
18
I am very near to falling; my pain is with me always.
19
I acknowledge my guilt and grieve over my sin.
20
But many are my foes without cause, a multitude of enemies without reason,
21
Repaying me evil for good, harassing me for pursuing good.
22
Forsake me not, O LORD; my God, be not far from me!
23
Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my salvation!
