稱頌 神的全知與眷佑

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

139 耶和華啊!你鑒察了我,

你認識我。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

我坐下,我起來,你都知道;

你在遠處就明白我的意念。

我行路,我躺臥,你都細察;

我的一切行為,你都熟悉。

耶和華啊!我的舌頭還沒有發言,

你已經完全知道了。

你在我前後圍繞著我,

你的手按在我身上。

這樣的知識奇妙,是我不能理解的;

高超,是我不能達到的。

我到哪裡去躲避你的靈?

我往哪裡去逃避你的面呢?

如果我升到天上,你在那裡;

如果我在陰間下榻,你也在那裡。

如果我展開清晨的翅膀,

飛到海的極處居住,

10 就是在那裡,你的手仍必引導我,

你的右手也必扶持我。

11 如果我說:“願黑暗遮蓋我,

願我周圍的亮光變成黑夜。”

12 但對你來說,黑暗也不算是黑暗,

黑夜必如同白晝一樣發亮,

黑暗和光明,在你看來都是一樣的。

13 我的臟腑是你所造的,

在我母腹中你塑造了我。

14 我要稱謝你,因為我的受造奇妙可畏;

你的作為奇妙,

這是我深深知道的。

15 我在隱密處被造,

在地的深處被塑造,

那時,我的形體不能向你隱藏。

16 我未成形的身體,你的眼睛早已看見;

為我所定的日子,我還未度過一日,

都完全記在你的冊上了。

17  神啊!你的意念對我多麼珍貴(“珍貴”或譯:“深奧”),

數目何等眾多。

18 如果我數點,它們比海沙更多;

我睡醒的時候,仍然與你同在。

19  神啊!甚願你殺戮惡人;

你們流人血的啊,離開我去吧!

20 他們惡意說話頂撞你,

你的仇敵妄稱你的名。

21 耶和華啊!恨惡你的,我怎能不恨惡他們呢?

起來攻擊你的,我怎能不厭惡他們呢?

22 我極度恨惡他們,

把他們視為我的仇敵。

23  神啊!求你鑒察我,知道我的心思;

試驗我,知道我的意念。

24 看看我裡面有甚麼惡行沒有,

引導我走永恆的道路。

God Cares for His People

139 O Lord, You have looked through me and have known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You understand my thoughts from far away. You look over my path and my lying down. You know all my ways very well. Even before I speak a word, O Lord, You know it all. You have closed me in from behind and in front. And You have laid Your hand upon me. All You know is too great for me. It is too much for me to understand.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I run away from where You are? If I go up to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in the place of the dead, You are there! If I take the wings of the morning or live in the farthest part of the sea, 10 even there Your hand will lead me and Your right hand will hold me. 11 If I say, “For sure the darkness will cover me and the light around me will be night,” 12 even the darkness is not dark to You. And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to You.

13 For You made the parts inside me. You put me together inside my mother. 14 I will give thanks to You, for the greatness of the way I was made brings fear. Your works are great and my soul knows it very well. 15 My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret and put together with care in the deep part of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw me before I was put together. And all the days of my life were written in Your book before any of them came to be.

17 Your thoughts are of great worth to me, O God. How many there are! 18 If I could number them, there would be more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.

19 If only You would kill the sinful, O God, and the men of blood would go away from me! 20 For they speak against You in sin. Those who hate You use Your name in a wrong way. 21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord? And do I not hate those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with the strongest hate. They have become men who hate me.

23 Look through me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. 24 See if there is any sinful way in me and lead me in the way that lasts forever.
