诗篇 39
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
世事虚幻唯主是望
39 大卫的诗,交于伶长耶杜顿。
1 我曾说:“我要谨慎我的言行,免得我舌头犯罪。恶人在我面前的时候,我要用嚼环勒住我的口。”
2 我默然无声,连好话也不出口,我的愁苦就发动了。
3 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。
4 耶和华啊,求你叫我晓得我身之终,我的寿数几何,叫我知道我的生命不长。
5 你使我的年日窄如手掌,我一生的年数,在你面前如同无有。各人最稳妥的时候,真是全然虚幻!(细拉)
6 世人行动实系幻影,他们忙乱真是枉然,积蓄财宝不知将来有谁收取。
7 主啊,如今我等什么呢?我的指望在乎你。
8 求你救我脱离一切的过犯,不要使我受愚顽人的羞辱。
9 因我所遭遇的是出于你,我就默然不语。
10 求你把你的责罚从我身上免去,因你手的责打,我便消灭。
11 你因人的罪恶,惩罚他的时候,叫他的笑容[a]消灭,如衣被虫所咬。世人真是虚幻!(细拉)
12 耶和华啊,求你听我的祷告,留心听我的呼求,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,像我列祖一般。
13 求你宽容我,使我在去而不返之先,可以力量复原。

Psalm 39
New King James Version
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.”
2 (B)I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
3 My heart was hot within me;
While I was [a]musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, (C)make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
5 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
6 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.
7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My (E)hope is in You.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me (F)the reproach of the foolish.
9 (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.”
