Psalm 139:1-6
New American Standard Bible
God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
139 Lord, You have (A)searched me and known me.
2 You (B)know [a]when I sit down and [b]when I get up;
You (C)understand my thought from far away.
3 You [c](D)scrutinize my [d]path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 [e]Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, Lord, You (E)know it all.
5 You have (F)encircled me behind and in front,
And (G)placed Your hand upon me.
6 Such (H)knowledge is (I)too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot comprehend it.

The Message
139 1-6 God, investigate my life;
get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
then up ahead and you’re there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can’t take it all in!

Omnipresencia y omnisciencia del Señor
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
139 Oh Señor, Tú me has escudriñado y conocido(A).
2 Tú conoces mi sentarme y mi levantarme(B);
Desde lejos comprendes mis pensamientos(C).
3 Tú escudriñas mi senda y mi descanso,
Y conoces bien todos mis caminos(D).
4 Aun antes de que haya palabra en mi boca,
Oh Señor, Tú ya la sabes toda(E).
5 Por detrás y por delante me has cercado(F),
Y Tu mano pusiste sobre mí(G).
6 Tal conocimiento(H) es demasiado maravilloso para mí(I);
Es muy elevado, no lo puedo alcanzar.
