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.”
2 I 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!
5 Behold, 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.
8 Deliver 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.
11 When 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
The Fleeting Nature of Life
For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.
1 I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”(A)
2 I was speechless and quiet;
I kept silent, even from speaking good,
and my pain intensified.(B)
3 My heart grew hot within me;
as I mused, a fire burned.(C)
I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.
Let me know how short-lived I am.(D)
5 You, indeed, have made my days short in length,
and my life span as nothing in Your sight.
Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor.(E)
6 “Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.(F)
7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.(G)
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the taunt of fools.(H)
9 I am speechless; I do not open my mouth
because of what You have done.(I)
10 Remove Your torment from me;
I fade away because of the force of Your hand.(J)
11 You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;(K)
every man is only a vapor.(L)
