诗篇 39

Chinese New Version (Simplified)

人生虚幻，主是唯一指望

大卫的诗，交给诗班长耶杜顿。

39 我曾说：“我要谨慎我的行为，

不让我的舌头犯罪；

恶人在我面前的时候，

我总要用罩子约束我的嘴。”

²我静默不出声，

甚至连好话也不说（“甚至连好话也不说”或译：“我安静也得不到安慰”），

我的痛苦就更加剧烈。

³我的心在我里面发热；

我默想的时候，心里火烧；

我就用舌头说话：

⁴“耶和华啊！求你使我知道我的结局，

我的寿数有多少，

使我知道我的生命多么短促。

⁵你使我的日子窄如手掌，

我的一生在你面前如同无有；

各人站得最稳的时候，也只不过是一口气。（细拉）

⁶世人来来往往只是幻影，

他们忙乱也是虚空；

积聚财物，却不知道谁要来收取。

⁷主啊！现在我还等候甚么呢？

我的指望在乎你。

⁸求你救我脱离我的一切过犯，

不要使我遭受愚顽人的羞辱。

⁹因为是你作了这事，

我就静默不开口。

¹⁰求你除掉你降在我身上的灾祸；

因你手的责打，我就消灭。

¹¹你因人的罪孽，借着责罚管教他们，

叫他们所宝贵的消失，像被虫蛀蚀；

世人都不过是一口气。（细拉）

¹²耶和华啊！求你垂听我的祷告，

留心听我的呼求；

我流泪，求你不要缄默；

因为我在你面前是客旅，

是寄居的，像我所有的祖先一样。

¹³求你不要怒视我，

使我在去而不返之先，可以喜乐。”

Psalm 39

English Standard Version

What Is the Measure of My Days?

To the choirmaster: to ^(A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

39 I said, “I will ^(B)guard my ways,
    that I ^(C)may not sin with my tongue;
I will ^(D)guard my mouth with a muzzle,
    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
²I was ^(E)mute and silent;
    I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
³    My ^(F)heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

⁴“O Lord, ^(G)make me know my end
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting I am!
⁵Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and ^(H)my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely ^(I)all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
⁶    Surely a man ^(J)goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing^[a] they are in turmoil;
    man ^(K)heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

⁷“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
    ^(L)My hope is in you.
⁸Deliver me from all my transgressions.
    ^(M)Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
⁹^(N)I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
    ^(O)for it is you who have done it.
¹⁰^(P)Remove your stroke from me;
    I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
¹¹When you discipline a man
    with ^(Q)rebukes for sin,
you ^(R)consume like a ^(S)moth what is dear to him;
    ^(T)surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

¹²^(U)“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
    and give ear to my cry;
    hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am ^(V)a sojourner with you,
    ^(W)a guest, like all my fathers.
¹³^(X)Look away from me, that I may smile again,
    ^(Y)before I depart and ^(Z)am no more!”

Psalm 39:6 Hebrew Surely as a breath

Tehillim 39

Orthodox Jewish Bible

39 (For the one directing, even to Yedutun. Mizmor Dovid). I said, I will be shomer over my ways, that I sin not with my leshon; I will be shomer over my mouth with a muzzle, while the rashah is before me.

²⁽³⁾I was dumb with silence, I held my peace for the sake of tov; and my distress grew severe.

³⁽⁴⁾My lev became hot within me; while I was musing the eish burned; then I spoke with my leshon,

⁴⁽⁵⁾Hashem, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my yamim, what it is; that I may have da’as of how chadel (fleeting, frail) I am.

⁵⁽⁶⁾Hinei, Thou hast made my yamim as a handbreadth, and mine lifespan is as nothing before Thee; verily kol adam stand as kol hevel (altogether vanity). Selah.

⁶⁽⁷⁾Surely every ish walketh in a tzel (shadow); surely they are in turmoil in vain; he heapeth up riches, and hath no da’as of who shall gather them.

⁷⁽⁸⁾And now, Adonoi, what do I wait for? My hope is in Thee.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Save me from all my peysha’im; make me not the reproach of the foolish.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾I was silent, I opened not my mouth; because Atah (Thou) did it.

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Remove Thy nega (stroke, scourge) away from me; I am consumed by the blow of Thine yad.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾When Thou with rebukes dost correct man for avon (iniquity), Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely kol adam are hevel (vanity). Selah.

¹²⁽¹³⁾Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my weeping; for I am a ger with Thee, and a sojourner, as were all my Avot.

¹³⁽¹⁴⁾O spare me from Thy frown, that I may recover strength, before I depart, v’eineni (and I be no more). [T.N. Animal sacrifices cannot take away sin; they are only a shadow of the korban nefesh of Moshiach. See Ps 40 and MJ chp 10; Isa 53:10.]
