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
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
Revised Standard Version
Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness
To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will guard my ways,
that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will bridle[a] my mouth,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2 I was dumb and silent,
I held my peace to no avail;
my distress grew worse,
3 my heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, let me know my end,
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is!
5 Behold, thou hast made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing in thy sight.
Surely every man stands as a mere breath!Selah
6 Surely man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nought are they in turmoil;
man heaps up, and knows not who will gather!
7 “And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Make me not the scorn of the fool!
9 I am dumb, I do not open my mouth;
for it is thou who hast done it.
10 Remove thy stroke from me;
I am spent by the blows[b] of thy hand.
11 When thou dost chasten man
with rebukes for sin,
thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him;
surely every man is a mere breath!Selah
12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not thy peace at my tears!
For I am thy passing guest,
a sojourner, like all my fathers.
13 Look away from me, that I may know gladness,
before I depart and be no more!”
