38:1 （大衛的記念詩。）耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我！
38:2 因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。
38:3 因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。
38:4 我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
38:5 因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。
38:6 我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。
38:7 我滿腰是火；我的肉無一完全。
38:8 我被壓傷，身體疲倦；因心裡不安，我就唉哼。
38:9 主啊，我的心願都在你面前；我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
38:10 我心跳動，我力衰微，連我眼中的光也沒有了。
38:11 我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站著；我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。
38:12 那尋索我命的設下網羅；那想要害我的口出惡言，終日思想詭計。
38:13 但我如聾子不聽，像啞巴不開口。
38:14 我如不聽見的人，口中沒有回話。
38:15 耶和華啊，我仰望你！主─我的上帝啊，你必應允我！
38:16 我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀；我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。
38:17 我幾乎跌倒；我的痛苦常在我面前。
38:18 我要承認我的罪孽；我要因我的罪憂愁。
38:19 但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，無理恨我的增多了。
38:20 以惡報善的與我作對，因我是追求良善。
38:21 耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！
38:22 拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！
38:2 因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。
38:3 因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。
38:4 我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
38:5 因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。
38:6 我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。

A psalm of David. A petition.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down on me.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down on me.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My
wounds fester and are loathsome
because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bowed down and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.
7 My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.
because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bowed down and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.
7 My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.
9 All
my longings lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
even the light has gone from my eyes.
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,
those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
all day long they scheme and lie.
my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
even the light has gone from my eyes.
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,
those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
all day long they scheme and lie.
13 I am
like the deaf, who cannot hear,
like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait for you;
you will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait for you;
you will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
17 For
I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies without cause;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil
lodge accusations against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.
and my pain is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies without cause;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil
lodge accusations against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.
21 Lord, do not forsake me;
do not be far from me, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me,
my Lord and my Savior.
do not be far from me, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me,
my Lord and my Savior.

上帝的憤怒與懲罰是人無法消受的，詩人無所不用其極地來形容得罪上帝的後果，來讓人知道這是非常可怕的事情，期盼不要有這樣的事情臨到！所以，向上帝求：「耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！」
也因為這樣，我們要渴望上帝的同在，常常保守自己在上帝的憐憫之中！而要得上帝的憐憫，詩人告訴我們，要一心追求良善。然而我們如何追求良善呢？就是要透過上帝的話語，正如使徒保羅所說：「聖經都是上帝所默示的（或譯：凡上帝所默示的聖經），於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的，叫屬上帝的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。」(提摩太後書3:16-17)
可見行善是由運用聖經來的，這是聖靈的工作，讓我們不僅透過耶穌基督得享救恩，更透過聖經的話語不斷引導我們活出上帝喜悅的生命，來見證耶穌基督並榮耀上帝的名。
