人生虚幻,主是唯一指望

大卫的诗,交给诗班长耶杜顿。

39 我曾说:“我要谨慎我的行为,

不让我的舌头犯罪;

恶人在我面前的时候,

我总要用罩子约束我的嘴。”

我静默不出声,

甚至连好话也不说(“甚至连好话也不说”或译:“我安静也得不到安慰”),

我的痛苦就更加剧烈。

我的心在我里面发热;

我默想的时候,心里火烧;

我就用舌头说话:

“耶和华啊!求你使我知道我的结局,

我的寿数有多少,

使我知道我的生命多么短促。

你使我的日子窄如手掌,

我的一生在你面前如同无有;

各人站得最稳的时候,也只不过是一口气。(细拉)

世人来来往往只是幻影,

他们忙乱也是虚空;

积聚财物,却不知道谁要来收取。

主啊!现在我还等候甚么呢?

我的指望在乎你。

求你救我脱离我的一切过犯,

不要使我遭受愚顽人的羞辱。

因为是你作了这事,

我就静默不开口。

10 求你除掉你降在我身上的灾祸;

因你手的责打,我就消灭。

11 你因人的罪孽,借着责罚管教他们,

叫他们所宝贵的消失,像被虫蛀蚀;

世人都不过是一口气。(细拉)

12 耶和华啊!求你垂听我的祷告,

留心听我的呼求;

我流泪,求你不要缄默;

因为我在你面前是客旅,

是寄居的,像我所有的祖先一样。

13 求你不要怒视我,

使我在去而不返之先,可以喜乐。”

Salmo 39

Vanidad de la vida

Para el director del coro, para Jedutún. Salmo de David.

39 Yo dije: «Guardaré mis caminos(A)
Para no pecar con mi lengua(B);
Guardaré mi boca como con mordaza(C)
Mientras el impío esté en mi presencia».
Enmudecí y callé(D);
Guardé silencio aun acerca de lo bueno,
Y se agravó mi dolor.
Ardía mi corazón dentro de mí(E);
Mientras meditaba, se encendió el fuego;
Entonces dije con mi lengua:
«Señor, hazme saber mi fin(F),
Y cuál es la medida de mis días,
Para que yo sepa cuán efímero soy(G).
-»Tú has hecho mis días muy breves(H),
Y mi existencia es como nada delante de Ti(I);
Ciertamente todo hombre, aun en la plenitud de su vigor, es solo un soplo(J). (Selah)
Sí, como una sombra anda el hombre(K);
Ciertamente en vano se afana(L);
Acumula riquezas, y no sabe quién las recogerá(M).
¶»Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué espero?
En Ti está mi esperanza(N).
-»Líbrame de todas mis transgresiones(O);
No me hagas la burla de los necios(P).
-»Mudo me he quedado(Q), no abro la boca,
Porque Tú eres el que ha obrado(R).
10 -»Quita de mí Tu plaga(S);
Por la dureza de Tu mano estoy pereciendo(T).
11 -»Con castigos reprendes al hombre por su iniquidad(U);
Como la polilla, consumes lo que es más precioso para él(V).
Ciertamente, todo hombre es solo un soplo(W). (Selah)
12 ¶»Escucha mi oración, oh Señor, y presta oído a mi clamor(X);
No guardes silencio ante mis lágrimas(Y);
Porque extranjero soy junto a Ti(Z),
Peregrino, como todos mis padres(AA).
13 -»Aparta de mí Tu mirada(AB), para poder alegrarme
Antes de que me vaya de aquí y ya no exista».

Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

39 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my (A)tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
(B)I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
My heart was hot within me;
While I was [a]musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:

Lord, (C)make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but (D)vapor. Selah
Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they [b]busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.

“And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My (E)hope is in You.
Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me (F)the reproach of the foolish.
(G)I was mute, I did not open my mouth,
Because it was (H)You who did it.
10 (I)Remove Your plague from me;
I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.
11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity,
You make his beauty (J)melt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah

12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, (K)as all my fathers were.
13 (L)Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength,
Before I go away and (M)am no more.”

Psalm 39[a]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

I said, “I will watch my ways(A)
    and keep my tongue from sin;(B)
I will put a muzzle on my mouth(C)
    while in the presence of the wicked.”
So I remained utterly silent,(D)
    not even saying anything good.
But my anguish(E) increased;
    my heart grew hot(F) within me.
While I meditated,(G) the fire(H) burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

“Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;(I)
    let me know how fleeting(J) my life is.(K)
You have made my days(L) a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(M)
    even those who seem secure.[b]

“Surely everyone goes around(N) like a mere phantom;(O)
    in vain they rush about,(P) heaping up wealth(Q)
    without knowing whose it will finally be.(R)

“But now, Lord, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you.(S)
Save me(T) from all my transgressions;(U)
    do not make me the scorn(V) of fools.
I was silent;(W) I would not open my mouth,(X)
    for you are the one who has done this.(Y)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
    I am overcome by the blow(Z) of your hand.(AA)
11 When you rebuke(AB) and discipline(AC) anyone for their sin,
    you consume(AD) their wealth like a moth(AE)
    surely everyone is but a breath.(AF)

12 “Hear my prayer, Lord,
    listen to my cry for help;(AG)
    do not be deaf(AH) to my weeping.(AI)
I dwell with you as a foreigner,(AJ)
    a stranger,(AK) as all my ancestors were.(AL)
13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
    before I depart and am no more.”(AM)
