Psalms 39

1 To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) a psalm of David. I said I will guard ways my from sinning with tongue my I will keep to mouth my a muzzle while still [the] wicked [is] to before me.

達味詩歌，交與樂官耶杜通。 我已決定：我要謹遵我的道路，免得我以口舌犯罪，當惡人在我面前時，我以口罩籠住我嘴。

2 I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.

我默不作聲，以免口出惡語，但我的痛楚更因此而加劇。

3 It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.

我的心在腔滾滾沸騰，我愈沉思愈覺得烈火如焚；我的舌頭便不耐煩地說：

4 Make known to me O Yahweh - end my and [the] measure of days my what? [is] it let me know how! fleeting [am] I.

上主，求你明白啟示我：我的終期和壽數究有幾何，好使我知道我是何等脆弱。

5 Here! handbreadths - you have made days my and lifespan my [is] like nothing before you [is] only all vanity all humankind [which] stands (Selah)

你使我的歲月屈指可數，我的生命在你前算是虛無。世人的生存只是一口呵噓。

6 Only an image - he goes about a person only vanity people are in turmoil! he heaps up and not he knows who? [will be] gathering them.

人生實如泡影，只是白白操勞，他們所有積蓄不知誰來得到。

7 And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.

我主，現今我還什麼希望？我的希望寄託在你的身上!

8 From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.

救你救我脫離我的種種罪愆，不要使我受愚人的恥笑侮慢。

9 I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.

我靜默不言，有口不開，因為這事是由你安排。

10 Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.

求你由我身上去這場災患，因你手的打擊，我已消瘦不堪。

11 With rebukes on iniquity - you have disciplined a person and you have melted like moth desired [thing] his [is] only vanity all humankind (Selah)

你為了罰罪而把世人懲治，你像蛀蟲將他的珍寶侵蝕；至於人，不過只是一口氣。上主，求你俯聽我的祈禱，求你側耳靜聽我的哀告，莫要作聾不聽我的哭號。因為

12 Hear! prayer my - O Yahweh and cry for help my - give ear to! to tear[s] my may not you be silent for [am] a sojourner I with you a resident alien like all ancestors my.

我在你前只是旅客，如我列祖一樣只是路。

13 Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.

求你轉移你的目光，不要怒視我，使我一去不返之前能得享安樂。
