Псалми 39
New Serbian Translation
Хоровођи, за Једутуна. Псалам Давидов.
39 Зарекох се: „Пазићу на пут свој да не згрешим језиком,
држаћу узде на устима, све док је опаки преда мном.“
2 Занемех, заћутах, чак ни што је добро не рекох,
али бол мој само жешћи поста.
3 Запалило се срце у мени,
у мислима мојим плануо је огањ,
те ја проговорих својим језиком:
4 „Објави ми, Господе, мој свршетак
и колика је дужина мојих дана,
да бих знао како сам пролазан.
5 Ето, дао си ми дане не дуже од педља,
и век је мој као ништа пред тобом;
сваки човек, наизглед сигуран,
тек је дашак. Села
6 Баш као сенка човек пролази;
узалуд се кида и скупља богатство,
а не зна ко ће га побрати.
7 Чему сада да се надам, Господе?
Моја нада је у теби.
8 Избави ме од свих мојих преступа,
не дај да будем на подсмех безумнику.
9 Ја сам нем, не отварам уста,
јер ти си то са̂м учинио.
10 Уклони свој бич од мене,
изгибох од силине руке твоје!
11 Кад опоменама караш човека због греха,
као мољац растачеш што му је најдраже;
да, сваки човек је тек дашак. Села
12 Послушај, Господе, моју молитву и чуј мој вапај,
не оглуши се о моје сузе,
јер као дошљак код тебе пребивам, као сви преци моји.
13 Одврати свој поглед од мене, да одахнем,
пре него што одем и не буде ме више.“
Psalm 39
New International Version
Psalm 39[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 I said, “I will watch my ways(A)
and keep my tongue from sin;(B)
I will put a muzzle on my mouth(C)
while in the presence of the wicked.”
2 So I remained utterly silent,(D)
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish(E) increased;
3 my heart grew hot(F) within me.
While I meditated,(G) the fire(H) burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;(I)
let me know how fleeting(J) my life is.(K)
5 You have made my days(L) a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(M)
even those who seem secure.[b]
6 “Surely everyone goes around(N) like a mere phantom;(O)
in vain they rush about,(P) heaping up wealth(Q)
without knowing whose it will finally be.(R)
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.(S)
8 Save me(T) from all my transgressions;(U)
do not make me the scorn(V) of fools.
9 I was silent;(W) I would not open my mouth,(X)
for you are the one who has done this.(Y)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
I am overcome by the blow(Z) of your hand.(AA)
11 When you rebuke(AB) and discipline(AC) anyone for their sin,
you consume(AD) their wealth like a moth(AE)—
surely everyone is but a breath.(AF)

Psalm 39
New King James Version
Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my (A)tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
2 (B)I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
3 My heart was hot within me;
While I was [a]musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, (C)make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but (D)vapor. Selah
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they [b]busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.
7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My (E)hope is in You.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me (F)the reproach of the foolish.
9 (G)I was mute, I did not open my mouth,
Because it was (H)You who did it.
10 (I)Remove Your plague from me;
I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.
11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity,
You make his beauty (J)melt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah
12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, (K)as all my fathers were.
13 (L)Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength,
Before I go away and (M)am no more.”
