Ps 38 (King James)

¹ O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
² For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
³ There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
⁴ For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
⁵ My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
⁶ I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
⁷ For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
⁸ I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
⁹ Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
¹⁰ My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
¹² They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
¹³ But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
¹⁴ Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
¹⁵ For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
¹⁶ For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
¹⁷ For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
¹⁸ For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
¹⁹ But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
²⁰ They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
²¹ Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
²² Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Ps 38 (Vulgate)

¹ In finem, ipsi Idithun. Canticum David.
² [Dixi : Custodiam vias meas : ut non delinquam in lingua mea. Posui ori meo custodiam, cum consisteret peccator adversum me.
³ Obmutui, et humiliatus sum, et silui a bonis ; et dolor meus renovatus est.
⁴ Concaluit cor meum intra me ; et in meditatione mea exardescet ignis.
⁵ Locutus sum in lingua mea : Notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum, et numerum dierum meorum quis est, ut sciam quid desit mihi.
⁶ Ecce mensurabiles posuisti dies meos, et substantia mea tamquam nihilum ante te. Verumtamen universa vanitas, omnis homo vivens.
⁷ Verumtamen in imagine pertransit homo ; sed et frustra conturbatur : thesaurizat, et ignorat cui congregabit ea.
⁸ Et nunc quæ est exspectatio mea : nonne Dominus ? et substantia mea apud te est.
⁹ Ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis erue me : opprobrium insipienti dedisti me.
¹⁰ Obmutui, et non aperui os meum, quoniam tu fecisti ;
¹¹ amove a me plagas tuas.
¹² A fortitudine manus tuæ ego defeci in increpationibus : propter iniquitatem corripuisti hominem. Et tabescere fecisti sicut araneam animam ejus : verumtamen vane conturbatur omnis homo.
¹³ Exaudi orationem meam, Domine, et deprecationem meam ; auribus percipe lacrimas meas. Ne sileas, quoniam advena ego sum apud te, et peregrinus sicut omnes patres mei.
¹⁴ Remitte mihi, ut refrigerer priusquam abeam et amplius non ero.]
