Psalm 39 | English Standard Version

What Is the Measure of My Days?

1 To 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.” 2 I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse. 3 My 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! 5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! 6 Surely 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. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool! 9 I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it. 10 Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand. 11 When 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. 13 Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!”

受苦者的呼求

大卫的诗，交给乐长耶杜顿。

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。”
