Ps 38

AA Psalm of David, for remembrance. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. (MT 38:2; LXX 37:1; LXX 37:2; Rahlfs 37:1; Rahlfs 37:2) מִזְמ֖וֹר לְדָוִ֣ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ 2For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me. (MT 38:3; LXX 37:3; Rahlfs 37:3) יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃ 3There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin. (MT 38:4; LXX 37:4; Rahlfs 37:4) כִּֽי־חִ֭צֶּיךָ נִ֣חֲתוּ בִ֑י וַתִּנְחַ֖ת עָלַ֣י יָדֶֽךָ׃ 4For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear. (MT 38:5; LXX 37:5; Rahlfs 37:5) אֵין־מְתֹ֣ם בִּ֭בְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵ֣י זַעְמֶ֑ךָ אֵין־שָׁל֥וֹם בַּ֝עֲצָמַ֗י מִפְּנֵ֥י חַטָּאתִֽי׃ 5My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly. (MT 38:6; LXX 37:6; Rahlfs 37:6) כִּ֣י עֲ֭וֺנֹתַי עָבְר֣וּ רֹאשִׁ֑י כְּמַשָּׂ֥א כָ֝בֵ֗ד יִכְבְּד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ 6I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning. (MT 38:7; LXX 37:7; Rahlfs 37:7) הִבְאִ֣ישׁוּ נָ֭מַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָ֑י מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃ 7For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body. (MT 38:8; LXX 37:8; Rahlfs 37:8) נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי שַׁחֹ֣תִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד כָּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם קֹדֵ֥ר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃ 8I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. (MT 38:9; LXX 37:9; Rahlfs 37:9) כִּֽי־כְ֭סָלַי מָלְא֣וּ נִקְלֶ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין מְ֝תֹ֗ם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃ 9O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You. (MT 38:10; LXX 37:10; Rahlfs 37:10) נְפוּג֣וֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּ֣יתִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד שָׁ֝אַ֗גְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַ֥ת לִבִּֽי׃ 10My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded. (MT 38:11; LXX 37:11; Rahlfs 37:11) אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ֥ כָל־תַּאֲוָתִ֑י וְ֝אַנְחָתִ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃ 11My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance. (MT 38:12; LXX 37:12; Rahlfs 37:12) לִבִּ֣י סְ֭חַרְחַר עֲזָבַ֣נִי כֹחִ֑י וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַ֥י גַּם־הֵ֝֗ם אֵ֣ין אִתִּֽי׃ 12Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long. (MT 38:13; LXX 37:13; Rahlfs 37:13) אֹֽהֲבַ֨י ׀ וְרֵעַ֗י מִנֶּ֣גֶד נִגְעִ֣י יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ וּ֝קְרוֹבַ֗י מֵרָחֹ֥ק עָמָֽדוּ׃ 13But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. (MT 38:14; LXX 37:14; Rahlfs 37:14) וַיְנַקְשׁ֤וּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י נַפְשִׁ֗י וְדֹרְשֵׁ֣י רָ֭עָתִי דִּבְּר֣וּ הַוּ֑וֹת וּ֝מִרְמ֗וֹת כָּל־הַיּ֥וֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃ 14I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply. (MT 38:15; LXX 37:15; Rahlfs 37:15) וַאֲנִ֣י כְ֭חֵרֵשׁ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וּ֝כְאִלֵּ֗ם לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃ 15I wait for You, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God. (MT 38:16; LXX 37:16; Rahlfs 37:16) וָאֱהִ֗י כְּ֭אִישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־שֹׁמֵ֑עַ וְאֵ֥ין בְּ֝פִ֗יו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃ 16For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.” (MT 38:17; LXX 37:17; Rahlfs 37:17) כִּֽי־לְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה הוֹחָ֑לְתִּי אַתָּ֥ה תַ֝עֲנֶ֗ה אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהָֽי׃ 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me. (MT 38:18; LXX 37:18; Rahlfs 37:18) כִּֽי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִ֑י בְּמ֥וֹט רַ֝גְלִ֗י עָלַ֥י הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃ 18Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. (MT 38:19; LXX 37:19; Rahlfs 37:19) כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי לְצֶ֣לַע נָכ֑וֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃ 19Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason. (MT 38:20; LXX 37:20; Rahlfs 37:20) כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִ֥י אַגִּ֑יד אֶ֝דְאַ֗ג מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃ 20Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good. (MT 38:21; LXX 37:21; Rahlfs 37:21) וְֽ֭אֹיְבַי חַיִּ֣ים עָצֵ֑מוּ וְרַבּ֖וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י שָֽׁקֶר׃ 21Do not forsake me, O Lord; be not far from me, O my God. (MT 38:22; LXX 37:22; Rahlfs 37:22) וּמְשַׁלְּמֵ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה יִ֝שְׂטְנ֗וּנִי תַּ֣חַת רדופי־טֽוֹב׃ 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. (MT 38:23; LXX 37:23; Rahlfs 37:23) אַל־תַּֽעַזְבֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
