旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第38章

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
诗篇第卅八篇   第 38 篇 

  诗 38 篇 > 大卫是一个很愿意认罪的人,因为他深知道犯罪的后果…… 

  38 篇 这首诗也叫“悔改诗”,因为大卫表达了自己对所犯之罪的悲哀( 38:18 )。大卫说他的罪导致了健康问题( 38:1-8 ),并把他同神和其他人分开了。这使大卫产生了极度的孤独感( 38:9-14 )。最后大卫承认了自己的罪并且愿意悔改( 38:15-22 )。 

  诗 38:1> 求神不要在怒中责骂自己,大卫想逃避责任吗?他怕被责骂吗?其实,我也怕…… 

  38:1 大卫就像子女呼叫父亲一样呼求神。大卫并不是在说:“不要惩罚我!”而是说:“不要在你生气的时候惩罚我。”大卫知道他罪该受罚,但他求神以怜悯来管教他。我们就像孩子一样有求怜悯的自由,但我们不应当说我们不该受罚。 

  诗 38:2-4> 罪孽高过我的头,人又如何担当?如果没有神…… 

  38:2-4 大卫看到,神的怒气是对他犯罪的惩罚。尽管神不总是降肉体上的疾病来惩罚我们的罪,但这一节和经文中的其他章节说明(参徒 12:21-23 ;林前 11:30-32 ),神在某些情况下是会这样做的。我们的罪对我们的肉体和精神都会产生副作用,并带来极大的痛苦。有时候神非要惩罚一下自己的子女不可,好把他们带回到自己的身边来(参来 12:5-11 )。我们认罪悔改,神就答应赦免我们,除去罪带来在永恒中的后果,却不一定除去它在地上带来的恶果,这是我们要承担的。尽管神没有应许说要除掉罪在地上的所有结果,但神要将我们从它们中间解救出来。 

  诗 38:13-14> 面对陷害自己的人,还要沉默不语?不太可能吧? 

  38:13-14 在别人诋毁我们的时候,我们要保护自己的名誉,很难保持沉默。在别人攻击我们最心爱的东西的时候,要我们什么事情都不做是很困难的。但我们不需要以牙还牙,或阐明我们的立场。我们要相信神能保护我们的名誉。耶稣在控告者的面前就沉默不语(参路 23:9-10 );他将事情交在了神的手中(参彼前 2:21-24 )。这也是一个我们向神交托事情的好方法。──《灵修版圣经注释》
