Would He not leave my few days alone? Withdraw from me so that I may have a little cheerfulness

我的日子不是甚少吗？求你停手宽容我，叫我在往而不返之先，就是往黑暗和死荫之地以先，可以稍得畅快。

我的日子不是短少吗？求你停止，求你放过我，使我可以稍得喜乐，

我的日子不是短少吗？求你停止，求你放过我，使我可以稍得喜乐，

我的年日不多，求你放过我，让我欢乐片刻。

我的日子不是很少吗？请住手，转离我，使我在往黑暗死荫之地以先，

我的日子不是甚少嗎？求你停手寬容我，叫我在往而不返之先－就是往黑暗和死蔭之地以先－可以稍得暢快。

我的日子不是短少嗎？求你停止，求你放過我，使我可以稍得喜樂，

我的日子不是短少嗎？求你停止，求你放過我，使我可以稍得喜樂，

我的年日不多，求你放過我，讓我歡樂片刻。

我的日子不是很少嗎？請住手，轉離我，使我在往黑暗死蔭之地以先，

我一生的日子不是很少麼？停手哦；放寬我吧，使我稍有喜色，

我日非幾希乎、請爾止而舍我、俾我稍得慰藉、

我壽幾何、請爾舍余、庶可少息我力、

主歟、我壽幾何、求主姑寛我、略舍我、

Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy

Aren’t my few days almost over? Leave me so I can have a moment of joy.

Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer

I have only a few days left, so leave me alone, that I may have a moment of comfort

Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little

[ Are] not my days few? cease[ then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

Are not my days few? Cease, then, and leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

“ Man, who is born of woman, Is short lived and full of turmoil.

Turn Your eyes away from me, that I may become cheerful again Before I depart and am no more.”

Behold, You have made my days like hand widths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Certainly all mankind standing is a mere breath. Selah

“ Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, And they come to an end without hope.“ Remember that my life is a mere breath; My eye will not see goodness again.

Remove Your hand from me, And may the dread of You not terrify me.

I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are only a breath.What is man that You exalt him, And that You are concerned about him,That You examine him every morning And put him to the test every moment?Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow my spittle?Have I sinned? What have I done to You, Watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?Why then do You not forgive my wrongdoing And take away my guilt? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will search for me, but I will no longer exist.”

As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place no longer knows about it.

For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.
