诗篇 39
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
世事虚幻唯主是望
39 大卫的诗，交于伶长耶杜顿。
1 我曾说：“我要谨慎我的言行，免得我舌头犯罪。恶人在我面前的时候，我要用嚼环勒住我的口。”
2 我默然无声，连好话也不出口，我的愁苦就发动了。
3 我的心在我里面发热，我默想的时候，火就烧起，我便用舌头说话。
4 耶和华啊，求你叫我晓得我身之终，我的寿数几何，叫我知道我的生命不长。
5 你使我的年日窄如手掌，我一生的年数，在你面前如同无有。各人最稳妥的时候，真是全然虚幻！（细拉）
6 世人行动实系幻影，他们忙乱真是枉然，积蓄财宝不知将来有谁收取。
7 主啊，如今我等什么呢？我的指望在乎你。
8 求你救我脱离一切的过犯，不要使我受愚顽人的羞辱。
9 因我所遭遇的是出于你，我就默然不语。
10 求你把你的责罚从我身上免去，因你手的责打，我便消灭。
11 你因人的罪恶，惩罚他的时候，叫他的笑容[a]消灭，如衣被虫所咬。世人真是虚幻！（细拉）
12 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告，留心听我的呼求，我流泪，求你不要静默无声。因为我在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，像我列祖一般。
13 求你宽容我，使我在去而不返之先，可以力量复原。

Psalm 39
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 39[a]
The Vanity of Life
1 For the leader, for Jeduthun.(A) A psalm of David.
I
2 I said, “I will watch my ways,
lest I sin with my tongue;
I will keep a muzzle on my mouth.”
3 Mute and silent before the wicked,
I refrain from good things.
But my sorrow increases;
4 my heart smolders within me.(B)
In my sighing a fire blazes up,
and I break into speech:
II
5 Lord, let me know my end, the number of my days,
that I may learn how frail I am.
6 To be sure, you establish the expanse of my days;
indeed, my life is as nothing before you.
Every man is but a breath.(C)
Selah
III
7 Man goes about as a mere phantom;
they hurry about, although in vain;
he heaps up stores without knowing for whom.
8 And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
You are my only hope.
9 From all my sins deliver me;
let me not be the taunt of fools.
10 I am silent and do not open my mouth
because you are the one who did this.
11 Take your plague away from me;
I am ravaged by the touch of your hand.
12 You chastise man with rebukes for sin;
like a moth you consume his treasures.
Every man is but a breath.
Selah
13 Listen to my prayer, Lord, hear my cry;
do not be deaf to my weeping!
For I am with you like a foreigner,
a refugee, like my ancestors.(D)
14 Turn your gaze from me, that I may smile
before I depart to be no more.

- Psalm 39 The lament of a mortally ill person who at first had resolved to remain silently submissive (Ps 39:2–4). But the grief was too much and now the psalmist laments the brevity and vanity of life (Ps 39:5–7), yet remaining hopeful (Ps 39:8–10). The psalmist continues to express both acceptance of the illness and hope for healing in Ps 39:11–13.
