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然而，我默不作声， 连好话也不出口时， 内心就更加痛苦。3我心如火烧，越沉思越烦躁， 便开口呼求：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主啊，如今我盼望什么呢？ 你是我的盼望。8求你救我脱离一切过犯， 不要让愚昧人嘲笑我。9我默然不语，一言不发， 因为我受的责罚是出于你。10求你不要再惩罚我， 你的责打使我几乎丧命。11因为人犯罪，你管教他们， 使他们所爱的被吞噬，像被虫蛀。 世人不过是一丝气息。（细拉）12“耶和华啊， 求你垂听我的祷告， 倾听我的呼求， 别对我的眼泪视若无睹。 因为我在你面前只是客旅， 是寄居的， 正如我的祖先。13求你宽恕我， 好让我在离世之前能重展笑容。”

What Is the Measure of My Days?
1To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.”2I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.3My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:4“O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!6Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing* they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!7“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.8Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool!9I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.10Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.11When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath!12“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.13Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!”
