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

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

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

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

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,

Human beings have only a few days to live. Their lives are full of trouble.

Leave me alone. Let me enjoy life again before I die.”

You have given me only a few days to live. My whole life doesn’t seem like anything to you. No one lasts any longer than a breath. This is true even for those who feel secure.

“ God, my days race by like a runner. They fly away without seeing any joy.They speed along like papyrus boats. They are like eagles swooping down on their food.

“ My days pass by faster than a weaver can work. They come to an end. I don’t have any hope.God, remember that my life is only a breath. I’ll never be happy again.

Stop treating me this way. And stop making me so afraid.

I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.“ What are human beings that you think so much of them? What are they that you pay so much attention to them?You check up on them every morning. You test them every moment.Won’t you ever look away from me? Won’t you leave me alone even for one second?If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you. You see everything we do. Why do you shoot your arrows at me? Have I become a problem to you?Why don’t you forgive the wrong things I’ve done? Why don’t you forgive me for my sins? I’ll soon lie down in the dust of my grave. You will search for me. But I’ll be gone.”

The life of human beings is like grass. People grow like the flowers in the field.When the wind blows on them, they are gone. No one can tell that they had ever been there.

After all, we were born only yesterday. So we don’t know anything. Our days on this earth are like a shadow that disappears.
