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。”
诗篇 39
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
受苦者的呼求
大卫的诗,交给乐长耶杜顿。
39 我说:“我要谨言慎行,
免犯口舌之罪。
只要身边有恶人,
我就用嚼环勒住自己的口。”
2 然而,我默不作声,
连好话也不出口时,
内心就更加痛苦。
3 我心如火烧,越沉思越烦躁,
便开口呼求:
4 “耶和华啊,求你让我知道我人生的终点和寿数,
明白人生何其短暂。
5 你使我的生命转瞬即逝,
我的岁月在你眼中不到片刻。
人的生命不过是一丝气息,(细拉)
6 人生不过是幻影,
劳碌奔波却一场空,
积蓄财富却不知谁来享用。
7 主啊,如今我盼望什么呢?
你是我的盼望。
8 求你救我脱离一切过犯,
不要让愚昧人嘲笑我。
9 我默然不语,一言不发,
因为我受的责罚是出于你。
10 求你不要再惩罚我,
你的责打使我几乎丧命。
11 因为人犯罪,你管教他们,
使他们所爱的被吞噬,像被虫蛀。
世人不过是一丝气息。(细拉)
12 “耶和华啊,
求你垂听我的祷告,
倾听我的呼求,
别对我的眼泪视若无睹。
因为我在你面前只是客旅,
是寄居的,
正如我的祖先。
13 求你宽恕我,
好让我在离世之前能重展笑容。”

Psalm 39
Expanded Bible
Life Is Short
For the director of music. For Jeduthun [C Levitical musician; 1 Chr. 16:41–42; 25:1, 6; 2 Chr. 5:12]. A psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will ·be careful how I act [L guard my way]
and will not sin ·by what I say [L with my tongue].
I will ·be careful what I say [L keep a muzzle on my mouth]
around wicked people.”
2 So I kept ·very quiet [silent and still].
I didn’t even say anything good,
but ·I became even more upset [L my agony/sorrow got worse].
3 ·I became very angry inside [L My heart grew hot within me],
and as I ·thought [meditated] about it, ·my anger [L a fire] burned.
So I ·spoke [L said with my tongue]:
4 “Lord, ·tell [inform; reveal to] me when ·the end [or my end] will come
and how long ·I will live [L will be my days].
Let me know how ·long I have [L fleeting I am; 90:1–12].
5 You have given ·me only a short life [L my days a handbreadth; C about four inches];
my lifetime is like nothing to you.
Everyone’s life is only ·a breath [vapor; Eccl. 1:2]. ·
6 People are like shadows moving about.
All their ·work [or wealth; or turmoil] is ·for nothing [a breath/vapor; Luke 12:13–21; James 4:3–17];
they ·collect things [accumulate riches/wealth] but don’t know who will ·get [gather] them.
7 “So, Lord, what ·hope do I have [do I wait for]?
You are my hope.
8 Save me from all my ·sins [transgressions].
Don’t ·let wicked fools make fun of me [L set the scorn of fools on me].
9 I am quiet; I do not open my mouth,
because you are the one who has done this.
10 ·Quit punishing me [L Turn your blows/scourge away from me];
·your beating is about to kill me [L I am exhausted/finished from the hostility/beatings of your hand].
11 You correct and punish people for their sins;
like a moth, you destroy what they ·love [covet; desire].
Everyone’s life is only a ·breath [vapor; Eccl. 1:2]. ·
12 “Lord, hear my prayer,
and listen to my cry.
Do not ignore my tears.
I am like a ·visitor [sojourner; wanderer; resident alien] with you.
Like my ·ancestors [fathers], I’m only ·here a short time [a temporary resident].
13 Leave me alone so I can be happy
before I leave and am no more.”
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)
