Salmos 38

1Salmo de David. Para recuerdo.

2Yahvé, no me arguyas en tu ira, ni me castigues en tu furor.

3Mira que tengo clavadas tus flechas, y tu mano ha caído sobre mí.

4A causa de tu indignación no hay en mi carne parte sana, ni un hueso tengo intacto, por culpa de mi pecado.

5Es que mis iniquidades pasan sobre mi cabeza, me aplasta el peso de su carga.

6Mis llagas hieden y supuran, por culpa de mi insensatez.

7Inclinado, encorvado hasta el extremo, en mi tristeza ando todo el día sin rumbo;

8mis entrañas se abrasan de dolor, no queda nada sano en mi cuerpo.

9Languidezco abrumado; los gemidos de mi corazón me hacen rugir.

10Señor, a tu vista están todos mis suspiros, y mis gemidos no se te ocultan.

11Palpita fuertemente mi corazón; las fuerzas me abandonan, y aún me falta la luz de mis ojos.

12Mis amigos y compañeros se han apartado de mis llagas, y mis allegados se mantienen, a distancia.

13Me tienden lazos los que atentan contra mi vida; los que buscan mi perdición hablan de amenazas y forman todo el día designios aviesos.

14Yo entretanto, como sordo, no escucho; y soy como mudo que no abre sus labios.

15Me he hecho semejante a un hombre que no oye y que no tiene respuesta en su boca;

16porque confío en Ti, oh Yahvé, Tú responderás, Señor Dios mío.

17Yo he dicho en efecto: “No se alegren a costa mía, y no se ensoberbezcan contra mí al vacilar mi pie.”

18Pues me encuentro a punto de caer, y tengo siempre delante mi flaqueza,

19dado que confieso mi culpa y estoy lleno de turbación por mi delito;

20en tanto que son poderosos los que injustamente me hacen guerra, y muchos los que me odian sin causa.

21Y los que devuelven mal por bien me hostilizan, porque me empeño en lo bueno.

22No me abandones, oh Yahvé; Dios mío, no quieras estar lejos de mí.

23Apresúrate a socorrerme, Yahvé, salvación mía.

1Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato.

2[Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:

3quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.

4Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie iræ tuæ; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum:

5quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.

6Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.

7Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.

8Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.

9Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.

10Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.

11Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.

12Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam.

13Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.

14Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.

15Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.

16Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.

17Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.

18Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.

19Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.

20Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.

21Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.

22Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.

23Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.]

1A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.

2Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.

3For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

4There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

5For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

6My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

7I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.

8For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.

9I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

10Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.

11My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.

12My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:

13And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.

14But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

15And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.

16For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.

17For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

18For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.

19For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.

20But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

21They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.

22Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.

23Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
