Salmos 38
Douay-Rheims Bible
1Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.
2I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.
3I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.
4My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
5I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me.
6Behold thou hast made my days measurable: and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.
7Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
8And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.
9Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
10I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.
11Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:
12Thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.
13Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
14O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.

1Salmo de David, para recordar. JEHOVÁ, no me reprendas en tu furor, ni me castigues en tu ira.
2Porque tus saetas descendieron á mí, y sobre mí ha caído tu mano.
3No hay sanidad en mi carne á causa de tu ira; ni hay paz en mis huesos á causa de mi pecado.
4Porque mis iniquidades han pasado mi cabeza: como carga pesada se han agravado sobre mí.
5Pudriéronse, corrompiéronse mis llagas, á causa de mi locura.
6Estoy encorvado, estoy humillado en gran manera, ando enlutado todo el día.
7Porque mis lomos están llenos de irritación, y no hay sanidad en mi carne.
8Estoy debilitado y molido en gran manera; bramo á causa de la conmoción de mi corazón.
9Señor, delante de ti están todos mis deseos; y mi suspiro no te es oculto.
10Mi corazón está acongojado, hame dejado mi vigor; y aun la misma luz de mis ojos no está conmigo.
11Mis amigos y mis compañeros se quitaron de delante de mi plaga; y mis cercanos se pusieron lejos.
12Y los que buscaban mi alma armaron lazos; y los que procuraban mi mal hablaban iniquidades, y meditaban fraudes todo el día.
13Mas yo, como si fuera sordo, no oía; y estaba como un mudo, que no abre su boca.
14Fuí pues como un hombre que no oye, y que en su boca no tiene reprensiones.
15Porque á ti, oh Jehová, esperé yo: tú responderás, Jehová Dios mío.
16Porque dije: Que no se alegren de mí: cuando mi pie resbalaba, sobre mí se engrandecían.
17Empero yo estoy á pique de claudicar, y mi dolor está delante de mí continuamente.
18Por tanto denunciaré mi maldad; congojaréme por mi pecado.
19Porque mis enemigos están vivos y fuertes: y hanse aumentado los que me aborrecen sin causa:
20Y pagando mal por bien me son contrarios, por seguir yo lo bueno.
21No me desampares, oh Jehová: Dios mío, no te alejes de mí.
22Apresúrate á ayudarme, oh Señor, mi salud.
King James Version
1O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12They 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.
13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
World English Bible
1LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15For I hope in you, LORD. You will answer, Lord my God.
16For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20They who give evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21Don’t forsake me, LORD. My God, don’t be far from me.
22Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
