Psalmi 38

1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

O lord, rebuke me not in your wrath: neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me sore.

3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

For my iniquities are gone over my head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

Lord, all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hid from you.

10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

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.

13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.

14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

For in you, O LORD, do I hope: you will hear, O Lord my God.

16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

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

19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

But my enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
