TEHILLIM38eng_ojb
1(Mizmor Dovid. For the memorial portion of the mincha)2Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath;neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.3For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me,and Thy Yad presseth upon me.4There is no health in my basarbecause of Thine anger;neither is there any shalom in my atzmotbecause of my chattat.5For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head;as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.6My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festeringbecause of my wicked folly.7I am bent down;I am brought low ad me'od; I go about mourning all day long.8For my loins are filled with burning;and there is no health in my basar.9I am feeble and broken ad me'od;I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.10Adonoi, all my ta'avah (desire, longing) is before Thee;and my groaning is not hid from Thee.11My lev panteth,my ko'ach faileth me;as for the ohr of mine eyes,it also is gone from me.12My loved ones and my re'astand aloof from my nega;and my neighbors stand afar off.13They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me;and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin,and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.14But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not;and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.15Thus I was like an ish that heareth not,and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).16For I wait for Thee, Hashem;Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.17For I said,Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me;when my regel slippeth,they magnify themselves against me.18For I am ready to fall,and my sorrow is before me tamid.19For I will declare mine avon;I will be in anguish over my chattat.20But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong;and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.21They also that repay ra'ah for tovah are mine adversaries;because I pursue the thing that is tov.22Forsake me not, Hashem Elohai;be not far from me.23Make haste to help me,Adonoi Teshuati (L-rd of my salvation).
