Dagiti Salmo 39

1 Inkeddengko, “Annadak ti ibagak tapno saanak nga agbasol babaen iti dilak. Busalak ti ngiwatko kabayatan nga addaak iti imatang ti dakes a tao.”

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

2 Nagtalinaedak a naulimek; linapdak dagiti sasaok uray pay iti panangibagak kadagiti aniaman a nasayaat a banbanag, ket kimmarkaro ti sakitko.

I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

3 Bimmara ti pusok; idi napanunotko dagitoy a banbanag, simged daytoy a kasla apuy. Ket kamaudiananna, nagsaoak.

My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 O Yahweh, ipakaammom kaniak no kaano ti pagpatinggaan ti biagko ken pagleppasan dagiti aldawko. Ipakitam kaniak no kasano kaababa ti panagtalinaedko.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

5 Kitaem, inaramidmo a kasla laeng kaakaba dagiti imak dagiti aldawko, ket kasla awan aniaman iti sangoanam ti kapaut ti panagbiagko. Pudno, tunggal tao ket maymaysa laeng nga anges. (Selah)

You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath.

6 Pudno a tunggal tao magmagna a kasla anniniwan. Awan duadua a tunggal maysa agdardaras nga agurnong iti kinabaknang uray no dida ammo no siasino ti mangawat kadakuada.

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

7 Ita, O Apo, ta ania ti ur-urayek? Sika ti kakaisuna a namnamak.

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

8 Pagballigiennak kadagiti amin a basbasolko: saannak nga aramiden a paga-angawan dagiti maag.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

9 Naulimekak ken saanmo a lukatan ti ngiwatko gapu iti inaramidmo.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

10 Isardengmo ti mangsugsugat kaniak; nalapunosak iti danog dagiti imam.

Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

11 No disiplinaam dagiti tattao para iti basol, in-inut nga ibusem dagiti pigsada a kasla iti bu-ot. Pudno nga amin dagiti tattao ket alingasaw laeng. (Selah)

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor.

12 Ipangagmo ti kararagko, O Yahweh, ken denggennak; denggem ti sangsangitko! Saanka nga agbalin a tuleng kaniak, ta kaslaak gan-gannaet kenka, a kasla maysa a tao a naglibas a kas kadagiti amin a kapuonak.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

13 Ibaw-ingmo ti natadem a panagkitam kaniak tapno makaisemak manen sakbay a matayak.

Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”
