Psalm 38

Menge Bibel

1 Ein Psalm von David, bei Darbringung des Duftopfers.2 HERR, nicht in deinem Zorne strafe mich, und nicht in deinem Ingrimm züchtige mich! (Ps 6,2)3 Denn deine Pfeile sind in mich eingedrungen, und deine Hand liegt schwer auf mir:4 nichts ist gesund an meinem Leib ob deinem Zürnen, nichts heil an meinen Gliedern ob meiner Sünde.5 Denn meine Missetaten schlagen mir über dem Haupt zusammen; wie eine schwere Last sind sie mir zu schwer geworden[1].6 Es faulen, es eitern meine Wunden infolge meiner Torheit[2].7 Ich bin gekrümmt, tief niedergebeugt; den ganzen Tag geh’ ich trauernd[3] einher;8 denn meine Lenden sind voll von Entzündung, und nichts ist unversehrt an meinem Leibe.9 Erschöpft bin ich und ganz zerschlagen, ich schreie auf infolge des Stöhnens meines Herzens.10 O Allherr, all mein Verlangen ist dir bekannt, und meine Seufzer sind dir nicht verborgen.11 Mein Herz pocht stürmisch, meine Kraft hat mich verlassen, und das Licht meiner Augen, auch das ist dahin!12 Meine Freunde und Genossen stehn abseits von meinem Elend, und meine nächsten Verwandten halten sich fern.13 Die nach dem Leben mir trachten, legen mir Schlingen, und die mein Unglück suchen, verabreden Unheil und sinnen auf Trug den ganzen Tag.14 Doch ich bin wie ein Tauber, höre es nicht, und bin wie ein Stummer, der den Mund nicht auftut;15 ja, ich bin wie einer, der nicht hören kann und in dessen Mund keine Widerrede ist;16 denn auf dich, HERR, warte ich: du wirst antworten[4], o Allherr, mein Gott;17 denn ich sage: »Daß sie nur nicht über mich frohlocken, nur nicht beim Wanken meines Fußes gegen mich großtun!«18 Denn nahe bin ich am Zusammenbrechen, und mein Schmerz ist mir allezeit gegenwärtig.19 Ach! Ich bekenne meine Schuld, bin bekümmert ob meiner Sünde!20 Dagegen die ohne Grund mich befeinden, sind stark, und zahlreich sind, die ohn’ Ursach’ mich hassen,21 und solche, die mir Gutes mit Bösem vergelten, sind meine Widersacher, weil fest am Guten ich halte.22 Verlaß mich nicht, o HERR, mein Gott, sei nicht ferne von mir!23 Eile zu meinem Schutz herbei, o Allherr, meine Rettung!

Psalm 38

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica
1 LORD, don’t correct me when you are angry. Don’t punish me when you are burning with anger.2 You have wounded me with your arrows. You have struck me with your hand.3 Because of your anger, my whole body is ill. Because of my sin, I’m not healthy.4 My guilt has become too much for me. It is a load too heavy to carry.5 My wounds are ugly. They stink. I’ve been foolish. I have sinned.6 I am bent over. I’ve been brought very low. All day long I go around weeping.7 My back is filled with burning pain. My whole body is ill.8 I am weak and feel as if I’ve been broken in pieces. I groan because of the great pain in my heart.9 Lord, everything I really want is clearly known to you. You always hear me when I sigh.10 My heart pounds, and my strength is gone. My eyes can hardly see.11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds. My neighbours stay far away from me.12 Those who are trying to kill me set their traps. Those who want to harm me talk about destroying me. All day long they make their plans and tell their lies.13 Like a deaf person, I can’t hear. Like someone who can’t speak, I can’t say a word.14 I’m like someone who doesn’t hear. I’m like someone whose mouth can’t make any reply.15 LORD, I wait for you to help me. Lord my God, I know you will answer.16 I said, ‘Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall. Don’t let them boast when my feet slip.’17 I am about to fall. My pain never leaves me.18 I admit that I have done wrong. I am troubled by my sin.19 Though I have done nothing to cause it, many people have become my enemies. They hate me without any reason.20 They pay me back with evil, even though I was good to them. They bring charges against me, though I try only to do what is good.21 LORD, don’t desert me. My God, don’t be far away from me.22 Lord my Saviour, come quickly to help me.

Psalm 38

English Standard Version

1 A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering. O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath! (1Chr 16,4; Ps 6,1; Ps 70,1)2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. (Hi 6,4; Ps 32,4)3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. (Ps 31,10; Jes 1,6)4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. (Esr 9,6; Ps 40,12)5 My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,6 I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning. (Hi 30,28; Ps 35,14; Ps 42,5; Ps 42,11; Ps 43,5; Jes 21,3)7 For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. (Ps 38,3)8 I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart. (Ps 22,1)9 O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. (Ps 6,6)10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. (Ps 6,7)11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off. (Hi 19,13; Ps 39,10; Ps 88,18; Jes 53,4; Jes 53,8; Mt 27,55; Mk 15,40; Lk 10,31; Lk 23,49)12 Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long. (2Sam 16,7; 2Sam 17,1; Ps 35,20; Mt 22,15; Mk 12,13; Lk 20,20)13 But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth. (Ps 39,2; Ps 39,9; Jes 53,7; 1Petr 2,23)14 I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. (Hi 23,4)15 But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. (2Sam 16,12; Ps 39,7)16 For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!” (Hi 19,5; Ps 13,4; Ps 94,18)17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. (Ps 35,15; Jer 20,10)18 I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. (Ps 32,5; 2Kor 7,9)19 But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. (Ps 35,19)20 Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. (Ps 35,12; Ps 109,4; 3Joh 1,11)21 Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! (Ps 10,1)22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! (Ps 27,1; Ps 40,13)
