称颂 神的全知与眷佑

大卫的诗,交给诗班长。

139 耶和华啊!你鉴察了我,

你认识我。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

我坐下,我起来,你都知道;

你在远处就明白我的意念。

我行路,我躺卧,你都细察;

我的一切行为,你都熟悉。

耶和华啊!我的舌头还没有发言,

你已经完全知道了。

你在我前后围绕着我,

你的手按在我身上。

这样的知识奇妙,是我不能理解的;

高超,是我不能达到的。

我到哪里去躲避你的灵?

我往哪里去逃避你的面呢?

如果我升到天上,你在那里;

如果我在阴间下榻,你也在那里。

如果我展开清晨的翅膀,

飞到海的极处居住,

10 就是在那里,你的手仍必引导我,

你的右手也必扶持我。

11 如果我说:“愿黑暗遮盖我,

愿我周围的亮光变成黑夜。”

12 但对你来说,黑暗也不算是黑暗,

黑夜必如同白昼一样发亮,

黑暗和光明,在你看来都是一样的。

13 我的脏腑是你所造的,

在我母腹中你塑造了我。

14 我要称谢你,因为我的受造奇妙可畏;

你的作为奇妙,

这是我深深知道的。

15 我在隐密处被造,

在地的深处被塑造,

那时,我的形体不能向你隐藏。

16 我未成形的身体,你的眼睛早已看见;

为我所定的日子,我还未度过一日,

都完全记在你的册上了。

17  神啊!你的意念对我多么珍贵(“珍贵”或译:“深奥”),

数目何等众多。

18 如果我数点,它们比海沙更多;

我睡醒的时候,仍然与你同在。

19  神啊!甚愿你杀戮恶人;

你们流人血的啊,离开我去吧!

20 他们恶意说话顶撞你,

你的仇敌妄称你的名。

21 耶和华啊!恨恶你的,我怎能不恨恶他们呢?

起来攻击你的,我怎能不厌恶他们呢?

22 我极度恨恶他们,

把他们视为我的仇敌。

23  神啊!求你鉴察我,知道我的心思;

试验我,知道我的意念。

24 看看我里面有甚么恶行没有,

引导我走永恒的道路。

139 1 David cleanseth his heart from all hypocrisy, showeth that there is nothing so hid, which God seeth not. 13 Which he confirmeth by the creation of man. 14 After declaring his zeal and fear of God, he professeth to be enemy to all them that contemn God.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, thou hast tried me, and known me.

Thou knowest my [a]sitting and my rising: thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou [b]compassest my paths, and my lying down, and art accustomed to all my ways.

For there is not a word in my [c]tongue, but lo, thou knowest it wholly, O Lord.

Thou holdest me strait behind and before, and layest thine [d]hand upon me.

Thy knowledge is too wonderful for me: it is so high that I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy [e]Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I lie down in hell, thou art there.

Let me take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

10 Yet thither shall thine hand [f]lead me, and thy right hand hold me.

11 If I say, Yet the darkness shall hide me, even the night shall be [g]light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee: but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and light are both alike.

13 For thou hast [h]possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise thee, for I am [i]fearfully and wondrously made: marvelous are thy works, and my soul knoweth it well.

15 My bones are not hid from thee, though I was made in a secret place, and fashioned [j]beneath in the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see me, when I was without form: [k]for in thy book were all things written, which in continuance were fashioned, when there was none of them before.

17 How [l]dear therefore are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more than the sand: when I awake, [m]I am still with thee.

19 Oh that thou wouldest [slay], O God, the wicked and bloody men, to whom I say, Depart ye from me:

20 Which speak wickedly of thee, and being thine enemies are lifted up in vain.

21 Do not I [n]hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and do not I earnestly contend with those that rise up against thee?

22 I hate them with an unfeigned hatred, as they were mine utter enemies.

23 Try me, O God, and know mine heart: prove me and know my thoughts,

24 And consider if there be any [o]way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the [p]way forever.

139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
