诗篇 39
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
人生虛幻，主是唯一指望
大衛的詩，交給詩班長耶杜頓。
39 我曾說：“我要謹慎我的行為，
不讓我的舌頭犯罪；
惡人在我面前的時候，
我總要用罩子約束我的嘴。”
2 我靜默不出聲，
甚至連好話也不說（“甚至連好話也不說”或譯：“我安靜也得不到安慰”），
我的痛苦就更加劇烈。
3 我的心在我裡面發熱；
我默想的時候，心裡火燒；
我就用舌頭說話：
4 “耶和華啊！求你使我知道我的結局，
我的壽數有多少，
使我知道我的生命多麼短促。
5 你使我的日子窄如手掌，
我的一生在你面前如同無有；
各人站得最穩的時候，也只不過是一口氣。（細拉）
6 世人來來往往只是幻影，
他們忙亂也是虛空；
積聚財物，卻不知道誰要來收取。
7 主啊！現在我還等候甚麼呢？
我的指望在乎你。
8 求你救我脫離我的一切過犯，
不要使我遭受愚頑人的羞辱。
9 因為是你作了這事，
我就靜默不開口。
10 求你除掉你降在我身上的災禍；
因你手的責打，我就消滅。
11 你因人的罪孽，藉著責罰管教他們，
叫他們所寶貴的消失，像被蟲蛀蝕；
世人都不過是一口氣。（細拉）
12 耶和華啊！求你垂聽我的禱告，
留心聽我的呼求；
我流淚，求你不要緘默；
因為我在你面前是客旅，
是寄居的，像我所有的祖先一樣。
13 求你不要怒視我，
使我在去而不返之先，可以喜樂。”
Psalm 39
New Century Version
Life Is Short
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will be careful how I act
and will not sin by what I say.
I will be careful what I say
around wicked people.”
2 So I kept very quiet.
I didn’t even say anything good,
but I became even more upset.
3 I became very angry inside,
and as I thought about it, my anger burned.
So I spoke:
4 “Lord, tell me when the end will come
and how long I will live.
Let me know how long I have.
5 You have given me only a short life;
my lifetime is like nothing to you.
Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
6 People are like shadows moving about.
All their work is for nothing;
they collect things but don’t know who will get them.
7 “So, Lord, what hope do I have?
You are my hope.
8 Save me from all my sins.
Don’t let wicked fools make fun of me.
9 I am quiet; I do not open my mouth,
because you are the one who has done this.
10 Quit punishing me;
your beating is about to kill me.
11 You correct and punish people for their sins;
like a moth, you destroy what they love.
Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
12 “Lord, hear my prayer,
and listen to my cry.
Do not ignore my tears.
I am like a visitor with you.
Like my ancestors, I’m only here a short time.
13 Leave me alone so I can be happy
before I leave and am no more.”
