Salmos 38— comparação

1SENHOR, não me repreendas na tua ira,

2Pois as tuas flechas cravaram-se em mim,

3Não há parte sã na minha carne por causa da tua indignação,

4Pois as minhas iniquidades passaram por cima da minha cabeça;

5Minhas feridas são repugnantes e purulentas

6Estou em dores e muito encurvado;

7Pois os meus lombos estão cheios de ardor;

8Estou desfalecido e severamente esmagado;

9Senhor, todo o meu desejo está diante de ti;

10Meu coração palpita,

11Meus amados e meus amigos se mantêm afastados da minha praga;

12Também os que buscam a minha vida armam laços;

13Mas eu, como um surdo, não ouço;

14Sim, sou como um homem que não ouve,

15Pois em ti espero, SENHOR;

16Pois eu disse: “Não deixes que se alegrem à minha custa,

17Pois estou prestes a cair;

18Pois declararei a minha iniquidade;

19Mas os meus inimigos são vigorosos e muitos;

20Os que pagam o bem com o mal também são meus adversários,

21Não me desampares, SENHOR;

22Apressa-te em me ajudar,

1Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.

3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

4For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.

6I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

7For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

8I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

10My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.

12They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

13But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

14Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.

16For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

17For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

18For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

19But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20They who give evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.

21Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

22Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
