诗篇 39

1 大卫的诗，交与伶长耶杜顿。 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。

TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have said, “I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep a curb for my mouth, While the wicked [is] before me.”

2 我默然无声，连好话也不出口； 我的愁苦就发动了，

I was mute [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

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。

My heart [is] hot within me, In my meditating the fire burns, I have spoken with my tongue.

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！

“Cause me to know, O YHWH, my end, And the measure of my days—what it [is],” I know how frail I [am].

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)

Behold, You have made my days handbreadths, And my age [is] as nothing before You, Only, every man set up [is] all vanity. (Selah)

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。

Only, each habitually walks in an image, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heaps up and does not know who gathers them.

7 主啊，如今我等什么呢？ 我的指望在乎你！

And now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope—it [is] of You.

8 求你救我脱离一切的过犯， 不要使我受愚顽人的羞辱。

Deliver me from all my transgressions, Do not make me a reproach of the fool.

9 因我所遭遇的是出于你， 我就默然不语。

I have been mute, I do not open my mouth, Because You have done [it].

10 求你把你的责罚从我身上免去； 因你手的责打，我便消灭。

Turn aside Your stroke from off me, From the striving of Your hand I have been consumed.

11 你因人的罪恶惩罚他的时候， 叫他的笑容消灭，如衣被虫所咬。 世人真是虚幻！ (细拉)

With reproofs against iniquity, You have corrected man, And dissolve his desirableness as a moth, Only, every man [is] vanity. (Selah)

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。

Hear my prayer, O YHWH, And give ear [to] my cry, Do not be silent to my tear, For I [am] a sojourner with You, A settler like all my fathers.

13 求你宽容我， 使我在去而不返之先可以力量复原。

Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
