• 39:0
  • 大卫的诗，交与歌咏长耶杜顿。
  • 39:1　I said, I will keep my ways, So that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep a muzzle on my mouth When the wicked are before me.
  • 我曾说，我要谨守我的道路，免得我用舌头犯罪；恶人在我面前的时候，我要笼住我的口。
  • 39:2　I was dumb and silent; I held my peace, even from good; And my pain was stirred up.
  • 我默然无声，连好话也不出口；我的痛苦就发动了。
  • 39:3　My heart was hot within me; While I mused, the fire burned; I spoke with my tongue:
  • 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：
  • 39:4　O Jehovah, cause me to know my end, And the measure of my days, what it is. May I know how transient I am.
  • 耶和华阿，求你叫我晓得我的结局，我的寿数几何。愿我知道我的生命何其短暂。
  • 39:5　Behold, You have made my days as mere handbreadths, And my lifetime is as nothing before You; Surely every man at his best is altogether vanity.
  • 看哪，你使我的年日窄如手掌，我一生的年数，在你面前如同无有；各人站得稳妥的时候，不过尽是虚幻。　细拉
  • 39:6　Surely man goes about as a semblance; Surely they bustle about in vain: He heaps up riches yet knows not Who will gather them.
  • 世人行动实系幻影；他们忙乱，真是枉然：积蓄财宝，却不知将来有谁收取。
  • 39:7　And now what am I waiting for, O Lord? My hope-it is in You.
  • 主阿，如今我等什么呢？我的指望在乎你。
  • 39:8　Deliver me from all my transgressions; Do not make me the fool's reproach.
  • 求你救我脱离一切的过犯；不要使我受愚顽人的羞辱。
  • 39:9　I was dumb; I did not open my mouth; For You have done this.
  • 因为这是你所作的，我就闭口不语。
  • 39:10　Remove Your plague from me; By the hostility of Your hand I am consumed.
  • 求你把你的击打从我身上挪去；因你的手与我为敌，我便消灭。
  • 39:11　With rebukes You chasten a man because of iniquity, And cause what is desirous to him to disappear like a moth. Surely every man is vanity.
  • 你因人的罪孽，就责备惩治他，叫他所喜爱的消失，如被虫蛀。众人真是虚幻。　细拉
  • 39:12　Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; And give ear to my cry; Do not hold Your peace at my tears. For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
  • 耶和华阿，求你听我的祷告，侧耳听我的呼求；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，像我列祖一样。
  • 39:13　Look away from me, that I may be cheerful, Before I go away and am no more.
  • 求你转眼不看我，使我在去而不返之先，可得畅快。
