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。”
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
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.
