Psalm 39
New Life Version
Prayer of a Suffering Man
39 I said, “I will watch my ways so I may not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth shut as if it were tied with ropes, while the sinful are near me.” 2 I stayed quiet, not even saying anything good. And my sorrow grew worse. 3 My heart was hot within me. As I thought about things, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue, 4 “O Lord, let me know my end and how many days I have to live. Let me know that I do not have long to stay here. 5 You have made each of my days as long as a hand is wide. My whole life is nothing in Your eyes. Every man at his best is only a breath. 6 Every man walks here and there like a shadow. He makes a noise about nothing. He stores up riches, not knowing who will gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You. 8 Save me from all my sins. Do not let me be put to shame by the foolish. 9 I cannot speak. I do not open my mouth because it is You Who has done it. 10 Do not punish me any more. I am growing weak by the beatings of Your hand. 11 With sharp words You punish a man for sin. You destroy like a moth what is of worth to him. For sure, every man is only a breath.
12 O Lord, hear my prayer, and listen to my cry. Do not be quiet when You see my tears. For I am a stranger with You, a visitor like all my fathers. 13 Look away from me, so I may have joy again before I go and am no more.”

Молитва при изпитания
39 За първия певец. От Йедутун[a]. Псалом на Давид.
2 [b] Казах си: „Ще внимавам в пътищата си,
за да не съгреша с езика си,
ще обуздавам устата си,
докато нечестивият е пред мене.“
3 Бях ням и безгласен и мълчах,
лишен от блага;
и моето страдание се усили.
4 Пламна сърцето в гърдите ми,
огън се разгоря в мислите ми.
Тогава проговорих с езика си:
5 „Господи, дай ми да узная кога ще бъде моят край,
открий ми числото на моите дни,
за да разбера, че съм преходен.
6 (A)Ето кратки са дните, които Ти си ми определил,
и възрастта ми е като нищо пред Тебе.
Наистина, животът на всеки човек е като полъх.
7 Наистина, човек е като сянка;
напразно вдига шум,
трупа съкровища и не знае кой ще ги получи.
8 И сега какво ми остава да очаквам, Господи?
Надеждата ми е единствено в Тебе.
9 Избави ме от всичките ми беззакония,
не ме предавай на безумен за поругание.
10 Станах ням, не отварям устата си,
защото Ти направи това.
11 Отклони от мене Своите удари,
аз изнемогвам от Твоята поразяваща ръка.
12 Когато с изобличение наказваш човека за беззаконията,
Ти накърняваш неговата хубост, както молци развалят дреха.
Така че всеки човек е само полъх!
13 (B)Господи, чуй молитвата ми, вслушай се в моя вопъл,
не стой безмълвен пред моите сълзи,
защото аз съм гост пред Тебе и странник,
както и всички мои предци.
14 (C)Отвърни гневен поглед от мене, та да мога да отдъхна,
преди да си замина и да ме няма вече.“

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)

Psalm 39
King James Version
Psalm 39
King James Version
39 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
