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

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

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,

“ Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.

Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.”

You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.

“ My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

“ My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.

Withdraw your hand far from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.

I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.“ What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention,that you examine them every morning and test them every moment?Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant?If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.”

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.
