詩篇 39
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
受苦者的呼求
大衛的詩，交給樂長耶杜頓。
39 我說：「我要謹言慎行，
免犯口舌之罪。
只要身邊有惡人，
我就用嚼環勒住自己的口。」
2 然而，我默不作聲，
連好話也不出口時，
內心就更加痛苦。
3 我心如火燒，越沉思越煩躁，
便開口呼求：
4 「耶和華啊，求你讓我知道我人生的終點和壽數，
明白人生何其短暫。
5 你使我的生命轉瞬即逝，
我的歲月在你眼中不到片刻。
人的生命不過是一絲氣息，（細拉）
6 人生不過是幻影，
勞碌奔波卻一場空，
積蓄財富卻不知誰來享用。
7 主啊，如今我盼望什麼呢？
你是我的盼望。
8 求你救我脫離一切過犯，
不要讓愚昧人嘲笑我。
9 我默然不語，一言不發，
因為我受的責罰是出於你。
10 求你不要再懲罰我，
你的責打使我幾乎喪命。
11 因為人犯罪，你管教他們，
使他們所愛的被吞噬，像被蟲蛀。
世人不過是一絲氣息。（細拉）
12 「耶和華啊，
求你垂聽我的禱告，
傾聽我的呼求，
別對我的眼淚視若無睹。
因為我在你面前只是客旅，
是寄居的，
正如我的祖先。
13 求你寬恕我，
好讓我在離世之前能重展笑容。」
Psalm 39
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 39
To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 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 I was dumb with silence,
I held my peace, even from good;
and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me,
while I was musing the fire burned:
then spake I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is;
that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth;
and mine age is as nothing before thee:
verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew:
surely they are disquieted in vain:
he heapeth up riches,
and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
my hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
because thou didst it.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me:
I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,
thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:
surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry;
hold not thy peace at my tears:
for I am a stranger with thee,
and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength,
before I go hence, and be no more.
