詩篇 39

1 われ曩にいへり われ舌をもて罪ををかさざらんために我すべての途をつつしみ惡者のわがまへに在るあひだはわが口に衝をかけんと

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 われ默して唖となり善言すらことばにいださず わが憂なほおこれり

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

3 わが心わがうちに熱し おもひつづくるほどに火もえぬればわれ舌をもていへらく

My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,

4 ヱホバよ願くはわが終とわが日の數のいくばくなるとを知しめたまへ わが無常をしらしめたまへ

LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

5 觀よなんぢわがすべての日を一掌にすぎさらしめたまふ わがかいのち主前にてはなきにことならず 實にすべての人は皆その盛時だにもむなしからざるはなし (セラ)

Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth; and my age is as nothing before you: truly every man at his best state is altogether vanity. (Selah)

6 人の世にあるは影にことならず その思ひなやむことはむなしからざるなし その積蓄ふるものはたが手にをさまるをしらず

Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.

7 主よわれ今なにをかまたん わが望はなんぢにあり

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in you.

8 ねがはくは我ぞすべて愆より助けいだしたまへ 愚なるものに誹らるることなからしめたまへ

Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9 われは默して口をひらかず 此はなんぢの成したまふ者なればなり

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you did it.

10 願くはなんぢの責をわれよりはなちたまへ 我なんぢの手にうちこらさるるによりて亡ぶるばかりになりぬ

Remove your stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of your hand.

11 なんぢ罪をせめて人をこらし その慕ひよろこぶところのものを蠧のくらふがごとく消うせしめたまふ 實にもろもろの人はむなしからざるなし (セラ)

When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. (Selah)

12 ああヱホバよねがはくはわが祈をきき わが號呼に耳をかたぶけたまへ わが涙をみて默したまふなかれ われはなんぢに寄る旅客すべてわが列祖のごとく宿れるものなり

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with you, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

13 我ここを去てうせざる先になんぢ面をそむけてわれを爽快ならしめたまへ

O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
