1（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我曾說：我要謹慎我的言行，免得我舌頭犯罪；惡人在我面前的時候，我要用嚼環勒住我的口。For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”
2我默然無聲，連好話也不出口；我的愁苦就發動了，I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.
3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。My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
4耶和華啊，求你叫我曉得我身之終！我的壽數幾何？叫我知道我的生命不長！“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.
5你使我的年日；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各人最穩妥的時候，真是全然。（細拉）You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah
6世人行動實係。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.
7主啊，如今我等甚麼呢？我的指望在乎你！And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
8求你救我脫離一切的過犯，不要使我受愚頑人的羞辱。Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.
9因我所遭遇的是出於你，我就默然不語。I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.
10求你把你的責罰從我身上免去；因你手的責打，我便消滅。Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.
11你因人的罪惡懲罰他的時候，叫他的笑容（的笑容：或譯所喜愛的）消滅，如衣被蟲所咬。世人真是虛幻！（細拉）You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah
12耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告，留心聽我的呼求！我流淚，求你不要靜默無聲！因為我在你面前是，是寄居的，像我列祖一般。Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.
13求你，使我在去而不返之先可以力量復原。Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”
