Ps 39:1-13.
简体中文
英文原文
Ps 39:1-13.
To Jeduthun
(1Ch 16:41, 42),
one of the chief singers. His name mentioned, perhaps, as a special honor. Under depressing views of his frailty and the prosperity of the wicked, the Psalmist, tempted to murmur, checks the expression of his feelings, till, led to regard his case aright, he prays for a proper view of his condition and for the divine compassion.
1. I said--or, "resolved."
will take heed--watch.
ways--conduct, of which the use of the tongue is a part
(Jas 1:26).
bridle--literally, "muzzle for my mouth" (compare
De 25:4).
while . . . before me--in beholding their prosperity
(Ps 37:10, 36).

4-7. 有人将这些话视为烦躁之言，但本质上并非如此。不满的色调来自他所压抑的情感的性质。但因向着神说，就变得柔和了。
使我知道我的结局——亲身的体会。

12, 13. 与本诗的宗旨相合，他求神以怜悯看他如同此地的客旅；并求——因他列祖也是如此——他能像他们一样得着安慰，而不是被绑在怒气之下、在不悦中受管教。

12, 13. Consonant with the tenor of the Psalm, he prays for God's compassionate regard to him as a stranger here; and that, as such was the condition of his fathers, so, like them, he may be cheered instead of being bound under wrath and chastened in displeasure.
Ps 39:1-13.
交与耶杜顿（To Jeduthun）（1Ch 16:41, 42）——他是主要的歌唱者之一。在此提他的名，或许是一项特别的尊荣。诗人面对自身的脆弱与恶人亨通的压抑郁闷之念，受到试探想要发怨言，便克制情感的表达，直到他受引导正确地看待自己的处境，于是祈求得着对自己状况的合宜认识，并求神的怜悯。

我要谨慎（will take heed）——即警醒。
行为（ways）——指行事，其中舌头的使用也是一部分（Jas 1:26）。
勒住（bridle）——字面作“给我的嘴套上笼头”（参
De 25:4）。
当……在我面前（while . . . before me）——指看见恶人亨通之时（Ps 37:10, 36）。
