Псалми 39
Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Хоровођи. За Једутуна. Псалам Давидов.
1 Рекох: »Пазићу на своје путеве
да својим језиком не згрешим.
Брњицу ћу држати на устима
све док је опаки преда мном.«
2 Заћутах, умукнух,
чак ни о добру нисам говорио.
Али мој бол се погорша,
3 срце се у мени ражари.
Што сам више о томе мислио,
то је огањ више горео.
Тада проговорих:
4 »ГОСПОДЕ, обзнани ми мој крај
и меру мојих дана,
да знам како ми је живот пролазан.
5 Ево, дао си ми дане кратке као длан,
мој век животни као ништа је пред тобом.
Сваки човек је само дашак. Села
6 »Сваки човек као авет тумара,
узалуд трчкара унаоколо,
богатство гомила,
а не зна ко ће га покупити.
7 »А сада, Господе, шта да чекам?
У теби је моја нада.
8 Избави ме од свих мојих преступа,
не дај да ме безумници вређају.
9 Ућутаћу, нећу отварати уста,
јер ти си ово учинио.
10 Склони свој ударац од мене –
докрајчиће ме силина твоје руке.
11 Ти човека прекореваш и одгајаш стегом
због његове кривице
и као мољац разједаш све за чим жуди.
Сваки човек је само дашак. Села
12 »Чуј моју молитву, ГОСПОДЕ,
мој вапај саслушај,
на моје сузе се не оглуши.
Јер, ја сам само дошљак
и насељеник код тебе,
као сви моји праоци.
13 Скини свој поглед са мене,
да се још мало повеселим
пре но што одем и више ме не буде.«
Psalm 39
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this song for Jeduthun, the leader of the music.
Life is short[a]
39 I said, ‘I will be careful what I do,
so that I do not sin.
I will also be careful what I say.
When wicked people are listening,
I will not even open my mouth.’
2 So I did not speak a word,
even about good things.
That made me very upset.
3 It was like a fire inside me!
As I thought more about it,
I just had to say something!
So I said this:
4 ‘Lord, tell me about my life.
Tell me how long it will be,
and when it will finish.
I need to remember that life is only short.
5 Yes, you have made the days of my life only a few!
The time that I live seems very short to you.
Human life is only a breath,
even for those who seem to be strong.
Selah.
6 As we live, we are just like shadows.
We work to get things for ourselves.
We may get a lot of money,
but we do not know who will have it after we die.’
7 So, my Lord, what help can I hope to get?
You are the only one that I can really trust!
8 Save me from all my sins!
Do not let fools insult me.
9 I will not say anything more.
I will not open my mouth,
because it is you who have punished me!
10 Please do not hurt me any more!
You have already punished me enough,
so that I am almost dead!
11 When people do wrong things,
you warn them and you punish them.
You destroy their valuable things,
like a moth eats cloth![b]
Yes, our lives are only a breath!
Selah.
12 Lord, please hear my prayer.
Listen to me when I call to you for help.
Do not turn away from me when I weep.
I need your help,
like a foreign person who lives away from his home.
I live on earth as a stranger,
like all my ancestors did.
13 Stop being angry with me,
so that I can be happy again before I die.

Psalm 39
King James Version
39 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
