詩篇 39
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
受苦者的呼求
大衛的詩，交給樂長耶杜頓。
39 我說：「我要謹言慎行，
免犯口舌之罪。
只要身邊有惡人，
我就用嚼環勒住自己的口。」
2 然而，我默不作聲，
連好話也不出口時，
內心就更加痛苦。
3 我心如火燒，越沉思越煩躁，
便開口呼求：
4 「耶和華啊，求你讓我知道我人生的終點和壽數，
明白人生何其短暫。
5 你使我的生命轉瞬即逝，
我的歲月在你眼中不到片刻。
人的生命不過是一絲氣息，（細拉）
6 人生不過是幻影，
勞碌奔波卻一場空，
積蓄財富卻不知誰來享用。
7 主啊，如今我盼望什麼呢？
你是我的盼望。
8 求你救我脫離一切過犯，
不要讓愚昧人嘲笑我。
9 我默然不語，一言不發，
因為我受的責罰是出於你。
10 求你不要再懲罰我，
你的責打使我幾乎喪命。
11 因為人犯罪，你管教他們，
使他們所愛的被吞噬，像被蟲蛀。
世人不過是一絲氣息。（細拉）
12 「耶和華啊，
求你垂聽我的禱告，
傾聽我的呼求，
別對我的眼淚視若無睹。
因為我在你面前只是客旅，
是寄居的，
正如我的祖先。
13 求你寬恕我，
好讓我在離世之前能重展笑容。」

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.]
Psalm 39
New International Version
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)
