Chapter 38

38:1 [hgb]  （ 大 卫 的 记 念 诗 ） 耶 和 华 阿 ， 求 你 不 要 在 怒 中 责 备 我 。 不 要 在 烈 怒 中 惩 罚 我 。 
    [kjv]  O LORD, rebuke¹ me not in thy wrath²: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
    [bbe]  <A Psalm. Of David. To keep in memory.> O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.
38:2 [hgb]  因 为 你 的 箭 射 入 我 身 ， 你 的 手 压 住 我 。 
    [kjv]  For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
    [bbe]  For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.
38:3 [hgb]  因 你 的 恼 怒 ， 我 的 肉 无 一 完 全 。 因 我 的 罪 过 ， 我 的 骨 头 也 不 安 宁 。 
    [kjv]  There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
    [bbe]  My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
38:4 [hgb]  我 的 罪 孽 高 过 我 的 头 ， 如 同 重 担 叫 我 担 当 不 起 。 
    [kjv]  For mine iniquities³ are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
    [bbe]  For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
38:5 [hgb]  因 我 的 愚 昧 ， 我 的 伤 发 臭 流 脓 。 
    [kjv]  My wounds stink⁴ and are corrupt⁵ because of my foolishness.
    [bbe]  My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.
38:6 [hgb]  我 疼 痛 ， 大 大 拳 曲 ， 终 日 哀 痛 。 
    [kjv]  I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
    [bbe]  I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.
38:7 [hgb]  我 满 腰 是 火 。 我 的 肉 无 一 完 全 。 
    [kjv]  For my loins are filled with a loathsome⁶ disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
    [bbe]  For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.
38:8 [hgb]  我 被 压 伤 ， 身 体 疲 倦 。 因 心 里 不 安 ， 我 就 唉 哼 。 
    [kjv]  I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
    [bbe]  I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.
38:9 [hgb]  主 阿 ， 我 的 心 愿 都 在 你 面 前 。 我 的 叹 息 不 向 你 隐 瞒 。 
    [kjv]  Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning⁷ is not hid from thee.
    [bbe]  Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
38:10 [hgb]  我 心 跳 动 ， 我 力 衰 微 ， 连 我 眼 中 的 光 ， 也 没 有 了 。 
    [kjv]  My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
    [bbe]  My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
38:11 [hgb]  我 的 良 朋 密 友 ， 因 我 的 灾 病 ， 都 躲 在 旁 边 站 着 。 我 的 亲 戚 本 家 ， 也 远 远 地 站 立 。 
    [kjv]  My lovers and my friends stand aloof⁸ from my sore; and my kinsmen⁹ stand afar off.
    [bbe]  My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
38:12 [hgb]  那 寻 索 我 命 的 ， 设 下 网 罗 。 那 想 要 害 我 的 ， 口 出 恶 言 ， 终 日 思 想 诡 计 。 
    [kjv]  They also that seek after my life lay snares¹⁰ for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous¹¹ things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
    [bbe]  Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.
38:13 [hgb]  但 我 如 聋 子 不 听 ， 像 哑 巴 不 开 口 。 
    [kjv]  But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
    [bbe]  But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
38:14 [hgb]  我 如 不 听 见 的 人 ， 口 中 没 有 回 话 。 
    [kjv]  Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs¹².
    [bbe]  So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
38:15 [hgb]  耶 和 华 阿 ， 我 仰 望 你 。 主 我 的 神 阿 ， 你 必 应 允 我 。 
    [kjv]  For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt¹³ hear, O Lord my God.
    [bbe]  In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
38:16 [hgb]  我 曾 说 ， 恐 怕 他 们 向 我 夸 耀 。 我 失 脚 的 时 候 ， 他 们 向 我 夸 大 。 
    [kjv]  For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
    [bbe]  I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.
38:17 [hgb]  我 几 乎 跌 倒 ， 我 的 痛 苦 常 在 我 面 前 。 
    [kjv]  For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
    [bbe]  My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.
38:18 [hgb]  我 要 承 认 我 的 罪 孽 。 我 要 因 我 的 罪 忧 愁 。 
    [kjv]  For I will declare mine iniquity¹⁴; I will be sorry for my sin.
    [bbe]  I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
38:19 [hgb]  但 我 的 仇 敌 又 活 泼 又 强 壮 。 无 理 恨 我 的 增 多 了 。 
    [kjv]  But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
    [bbe]  But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.
38:20 [hgb]  以 恶 报 善 的 与 我 作 对 ， 因 我 是 追 求 良 善 。 
    [kjv]  They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries¹⁵; because I follow the thing that good is.
    [bbe]  They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.
38:21 [hgb]  耶 和 华 阿 ， 求 你 不 要 撇 弃 我 。 我 的 神 阿 ， 求 你 不 要 远 离 我 。 
    [kjv]  Forsake¹⁶ me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
    [bbe]  Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.
38:22 [hgb]  拯 救 我 的 主 阿 ， 求 你 快 快 帮 助 我 。 
    [kjv]  Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation¹⁷.
    [bbe]  Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
