Psalms 39

1 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.”

1 我说：“我要谨言慎行， 免犯口舌之罪。 只要身边有恶人， 我就用嚼环勒住自己的口。”

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

2 然而，我默不作声， 连好话也不出口时， 内心就更加痛苦。

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

3 我心如火烧，越沉思越烦躁， 便开口呼求：

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

4 “耶和华啊，求你让我知道我人生的终点和寿数， 明白人生何其短暂。

5 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. Selah

5 你使我的生命转瞬即逝， 我的岁月在你眼中不到片刻。 人的生命不过是一丝气息，（细拉）

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

6 人生不过是幻影， 劳碌奔波却一场空， 积蓄财富却不知谁来享用。

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

7 主啊，如今我等候什么呢？ 你是我的盼望。

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

8 求你救我脱离一切过犯， 不要让愚昧人嘲笑我。

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

9 我默然不语，一言不发， 因为我受的责罚是出于你。

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

10 求你不要再惩罚我， 你的责打使我几乎丧命。

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

11 因为人犯罪，你责罚管教他们， 如同蛀虫吞噬他们所爱的。 世人不过是一丝气息。（细拉）

12 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.

12 “耶和华啊， 求你垂听我的祷告， 倾听我的呼求， 别对我的眼泪无动于衷。 因为我在你面前只是客旅， 是寄居的， 正如我的祖先。

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

13 求你宽恕我， 好让我在离世之前能重展笑容。”
