Psaumes 38.10
New International Version

Demande de grâce

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.
