Salmo 39
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagpapahayag ng Kasalanan ng Taong Nahihirapan
39 Sinabi ko sa aking sarili,
“Ang ugali koʼy aking babantayan, sa pagsasalita, ang magkasalaʼy iiwasan.
Pipigilan ko ang aking mga labi habang malapit ako sa masasamang tao.”
2 Kaya tumahimik ako at walang anumang sinabi kahit mabuti,
ngunit lalong nadagdagan ang sakit ng aking kalooban.
3 Akoʼy tunay na nabahala,
at sa kaiisip koʼy lalo akong naguluhan,
kaya nang hindi ko na mapigilan ay sinabi ko,
4 “Panginoon, paalalahanan nʼyo ako na may katapusan at bilang na ang aking mga araw,
na ang buhay ko sa mundoʼy pansamantala lamang.
Paalalahanan nʼyo akong sa mundo ay lilisan.
5 Kay ikli ng buhay na ibinigay nʼyo sa akin.
Katumbas lang ng isang saglit para sa inyo.
Itoʼy parang hangin lamang na dumadaan,
6 o kayaʼy parang anino na nawawala.
Abala siya sa mga bagay na wala namang kabuluhan.
Nagtitipon siya ng kayamanan, ngunit kapag siyaʼy namatay,
hindi na niya alam kung sino ang makikinabang.
7 At ngayon, Panginoon, ano pa ang aasahan ko?
Kayo lang ang tanging pag-asa ko.
8 Iligtas nʼyo ako sa lahat kong kasalanan,
at huwag nʼyong hayaang pagtawanan ako ng mga hangal.
9 Akoʼy mananahimik at hindi na ibubuka pa ang aking bibig,
dahil nanggaling sa inyo ang pagdurusa kong ito.
10 Huwag nʼyo na akong parusahan.
Akoʼy parang mamamatay na sa dulot nʼyong kahirapan.
11 Dinidisiplina nʼyo ang tao kapag siya ay nagkakasala.
Katulad ng anay, inuubos nʼyo rin ang kanilang mga pinahahalagahan.
Tunay na ang buhay ng tao ay pansamantala lamang.[a]
12 “Panginoon, dinggin nʼyo ang dalangin ko.
Pakinggan nʼyo ang paghingi ko ng tulong sa inyo.
Huwag nʼyo sanang balewalain ang aking mga pag-iyak.
Dahil dito sa mundo akoʼy dayuhan lamang,
gaya ng aking mga ninuno, sa mundo ay lilisan.
13 Huwag na kayong magalit sa akin,
upang akoʼy maging masaya bago ako mamatay.”

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)

Psalm 39
New King James Version
Psalm 39
New King James Version
Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my (A)tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
2 (B)I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
3 My heart was hot within me;
While I was [a]musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, (C)make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but (D)vapor. Selah
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they [b]busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.
7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My (E)hope is in You.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me (F)the reproach of the foolish.
9 (G)I was mute, I did not open my mouth,
Because it was (H)You who did it.
10 (I)Remove Your plague from me;
I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.
11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity,
You make his beauty (J)melt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah
12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, (K)as all my fathers were.
13 (L)Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength,
Before I go away and (M)am no more.”

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!”
