Psalms 38:14-19 in English

¹⁴ Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall, 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 are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

¹⁴ Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.

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.

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.

¹⁴ Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁶ For I said, Lest they 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 are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

¹⁴ I act like a man who does not answer when people talk to him, because he cannot hear anything.

¹⁵ But Yahweh, I trust in you. My Lord God, you will answer me.

¹⁶ I said to you, “Do not cause me to die, with the result that my enemies will rejoice! Do not cause me to stumble, with the result that they will be very happy!”

¹⁷ I say that because I am about to fall down, and I constantly have pain.

¹⁸ I confess the wrong things that I have done; I am very sorry for the sins that I have committed.

¹⁹ My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many people who hate me for no reason.

¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁹ But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For I hope in you, Yahweh. You will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁹ But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For I hope in you, LORD. You will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁹ But my enemies are vigourous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

¹⁴ So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.

¹⁵ In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.

¹⁶ I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.

¹⁷ My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.

¹⁸ I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.

¹⁹ But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.

¹⁴ Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified themselves against me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

¹⁹ But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:

¹⁴ O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.

¹⁴ Like a man who can't hear, and who doesn't reply—that's me!

¹⁵ For I'm waiting on you, Lord! You will answer for me, my Lord and my God.

¹⁶ I'm asking you, Lord, please don't let my enemies gloat over me, don't let them be glad when I trip up.

¹⁷ For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.

¹⁸ I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.

¹⁹ I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.

¹⁴ Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.

¹⁵ For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.

¹⁶ For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.

¹⁷ Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.

¹⁸ When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,

¹⁹ Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.

¹⁴ (38-15) Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.

¹⁵ (38-16) For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

¹⁶ (38-17) For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'

¹⁷ (38-18) For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ (38-19) For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.

¹⁹ (38-20) But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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.

¹⁴ (38:15) Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.

¹⁵ (38:16) For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

¹⁶ (38:17) For I said, Perhaps they might rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they might magnify themselves over me.

¹⁷ (38:18) For I am prepared for my downfall, and my pain is continually before me.

¹⁸ (38:19) For I will tell of my iniquity; I will be grieved because of my sin.

¹⁹ (38:20) But my enemies are strong in life; and numerous are those that hate me wrongfully;

¹⁴ Spare me, that I may be refreshed, Before I depart, and be no more.

¹⁴ I am like one who heareth nothing, And in whose mouth is no reply.

¹⁵ For in thee, O LORD! do I put my trust; Thou wilt hear, O Lord, my God!

¹⁶ For I have prayed, “Let them not rejoice over me; Let them not exult at the slipping of my feet!”

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall, And my pain doth never leave me;

¹⁸ For I confess my iniquity, And am troubled on account of my sin.

¹⁹ But my enemies flourish and are strong; They who hate me without cause are multiplied.

¹⁴ I am like one without hearing, with no arguments in my mouth.

¹⁵ For my hope, O Lord, is in you. You will answer, O Lord my God,

¹⁶ when I utter the hope that those who made scorn of my tottering feet may not rejoice over me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall, my pain forsakes me never.

¹⁸ I acknowledge my guilt, I am anxious because of my sin:

¹⁹ My wanton assailants are strong, those who wrongfully hate me are many,

¹⁴ I am like one without hearing, with no arguments in my mouth.

¹⁵ For my hope, O Lord, is in you. You will answer, O Lord my God,

¹⁶ when I utter the hope that those who made scorn of my tottering feet may not rejoice over me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall, my pain forsakes me never.

¹⁸ I acknowledge my guilt, I am anxious because of my sin:

¹⁹ My wanton assailants are strong, those who wrongfully hate me are many,

¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who does not sh'ma ·hear obey·, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵ For in you, Adonai , do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶ For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

¹⁷ For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

¹⁶ For I said, Hear me, Lest any time mine enemies have joy on me; and the while my feet be moved/and while my feet were moved, they spake great things on me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to beatings; and my sorrow is evermore in my sight.

¹⁸ For I shall tell my wickedness; and I shall think for my sin.

¹⁹ But mine enemies live, and they be confirmed on me; and they be multiplied, that hate me wickedly.

¹⁴ And I am made as a man not hearing; and not having reprovings in his mouth. (And I am made like a deaf man; yea, one not speaking any rebuke, or reply.)
