Psalms 39

Greek original · 14 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Vulgate, Ge'ez Bible)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 39 here = Ps 38 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

39:0

εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ Ιδιθουν ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυιδ

For the end. For Idithoun. A song of David.

為末了。為耶杜頓。大衛的歌。

39:1

εἶπα φυλάξω τὰς ὁδούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ἐθέμην τῷ στόματί μου φυλακὴν ἐν τῷ συστῆναι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐναντίον μου

I said: I will guard my ways, so as not to sin with my tongue; I set a guard for my mouth while the sinner stood before me.

我曾說：我要謹守我的道路，免得我用舌頭犯罪；當罪人站在我面前的時候，我為我的口設下看守。

39:2

ἐκωφώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐσίγησα ἐξ ἀγαθῶν καὶ τὸ ἄλγημά μου ἀνεκαινίσθη

I was made mute and was humbled, and I kept silent from good things, and my pain was renewed.

我啞口無言，自己降卑，連好話也不說，我的痛苦就更加重了。

39:3

ἐθερμάνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐντός μου καὶ ἐν τῇ μελέτῃ μου ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ ἐλάλησα ἐν γλώσσῃ μου

My heart grew hot within me, and in my meditation a fire will burn; I spoke with my tongue:

我的心在我裡面發熱，我默想的時候火就燒起；我便用舌頭說話：

39:4

γνώρισόν μοι κύριε τὸ πέρας μου καὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν μου τίς ἐστιν ἵνα γνῶ τί ὑστερῶ ἐγώ

Make known to me, O Lord, my end, and what is the number of my days, that I may know what I lack.

主啊，求你叫我曉得我的結局，我的年日有多少，好叫我知道自己是何等短缺。

39:5

ἰδοὺ παλαιστὰς ἔθου τὰς ἡμέρας μου καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ὡσεὶ οὐθὲν ἐνώπιόν σου πλὴν τὰ σύμπαντα ματαιότης πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ζῶν διάψαλμα

Behold, you have made my days a handbreadth, and my substance is as nothing before you; indeed, all things together are vanity—every living man. Interlude.

看哪，你使我的年日窄如手掌，我的存在在你面前如同虛無；其實萬事都是虛空，凡活著的人都是如此。（間奏）

39:6

μέντοιγε ἐν εἰκόνι διαπορεύεται ἄνθρωπος πλὴν μάτην ταράσσονται θησαυρίζει καὶ οὐ γινώσκει τίνι συνάξει αὐτά

Surely man goes about as an image; surely they are troubled in vain; he heaps up treasure and does not know for whom he will gather it.

人行來行去，不過是個影像；他們的忙亂實在是枉然。人積蓄財寶，卻不知將來歸誰收取。

39:7

καὶ νῦν τίς ἡ ὑπομονή μου οὐχὶ ὁ κύριος καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου παρὰ σοῦ ἐστιν

And now, what is my endurance? Is it not the Lord? And my substance is from you.

如今我所等候的是甚麼呢？豈不是主嗎？我的存立是在乎你。

39:8

ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν μου ῥῦσαί με ὄνειδος ἄφρονι ἔδωκάς με

Deliver me from all my lawless deeds; you have made me a reproach to the fool.

求你救我脫離我一切的罪孽；你使我成了愚頑人羞辱的對象。

39:9

ἐκωφώθην καὶ οὐκ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ποιήσας με

I was made mute and did not open my mouth, because it is you who made me.

我啞口無言，不開我的口，因為是你造了我。

39:10

ἀπόστησον ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ τὰς μάστιγάς σου ἀπὸ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς χειρός σου ἐγὼ ἐξέλιπον

Remove your scourges from me; because of the strength of your hand I have failed.

求你把你的鞭打從我身上挪開；因你手的大力，我已耗盡。

39:11

ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας ἐπαίδευσας ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐξέτηξας ὡς ἀράχνην τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται πᾶς ἄνθρωπος διάψαλμα

With reproofs for lawlessness you disciplined man, and you made his soul melt away like a spider's web; surely every man is troubled in vain. Interlude.

你為著罪孽以責備管教人，使他的魂消融如蛛絲；人人的忙亂實在是枉然。（間奏）

39:12

εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου κύριε καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς μου ἐνώτισαι τῶν δακρύων μου μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς ὅτι πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι παρὰ σοὶ καὶ παρεπίδημος καθὼς πάντες οἱ πατέρες μου

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my supplication; do not be silent at my tears. For I am a sojourner with you and a stranger, as all my fathers were.

主啊，求你聽我的禱告，側耳聽我的懇求；對我的眼淚，求你不要靜默。因為我在你面前是寄居的，是客旅，像我列祖一樣。

39:13

ἄνες μοι ἵνα ἀναψύξω πρὸ τοῦ με ἀπελθεῖν καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ὑπάρξω

Give me relief, that I may be refreshed before I depart and am no more.

求你寬容我，使我在離世而不再存留之先，可以得著舒暢。
