Psalms 38

1 A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.

Jehová, no me reprendas con tu furor, ni me castigues con tu ira.

2 For your weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.

Porque tus saetas descendieron en mí; y sobre mí ha descendido tu mano.

3 For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.

No hay sanidad en mi carne a causa de tu ira: no hay paz en mis huesos a causa de mi pecado.

4 For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.

Porque mis iniquidades han pasado sobre mi cabeza: como carga pesada, se han agravado sobre mí.

5 My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

Pudriéronse, y corrompiéronse mis llagas a causa de mi locura.

6 I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.

Estoy encorvado, estoy humillado en gran manera: todo el día ando enlutado.

7 For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.

Porque mis caderas están llenas de ardor: y no hay sanidad en mi carne.

8 I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

Estoy debilitado y molido en gran manera: rugiendo estoy a causa del alboroto de mi corazón.

9 But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.

Señor, delante de ti están todos mis deseos: y mi suspiro no te es oculto.

10 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.

Mi corazón está rodeado, me ha dejado mi vigor; y la luz de mis ojos, aun ellos no están conmigo.

11 My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.

Mis amigos, y mis compañeros, se quitaron de delante de mi plaga: y mis cercanos se pusieron lejos.

12 While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

Y los que buscaban a mi alma armaron lazos: y los que buscaban mi mal, hablaban iniquidades: y todo el día meditaban fraudes.

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

Y yo, como sordo, no oía: y como un mudo, que no abre su boca.

14 And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

Y fui como un hombre que no oye: y que no hay en su boca reprensiones.

15 For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, O Lord my God.

Porque a ti Jehová esperaba: tú responderás Jehová Dios mío.

16 For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

Porque decía: Que no se alegren de mí: cuando mi pie resbalaba se engrandecían sobre mí.

17 For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

Porque yo aparejado estoy a cojear: y mi dolor está delante de mí continuamente.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

Por tanto denunciaré mi maldad: congojarme he por mi pecado.

19 But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

Porque mis enemigos son vivos y fuertes: y hánse aumentado los que me aborrecen sin causa:

20 They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.

Y pagando mal por bien me son contrarios, por seguir yo lo bueno.

21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.

No me desampares, o! Jehová; Dios mío, no te alejes de mí.

22 Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Apresúrate a ayudarme, Señor, que eres mi salud.
