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。

Psalm 139

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me.

You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off.(A)

You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue [still unuttered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.(B)

You have beset me and shut me in—behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me.

Your [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me, I cannot reach it.

Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there.(C)

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

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

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me,

12 Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.(D)

13 For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!(E)

18 If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You.

19 If You would [only] slay the wicked, O God, and the men of blood depart from me—(F)

20 Who speak against You wickedly, Your enemies who take Your name in vain!(G)

21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And am I not grieved and do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred; they have become my enemies.

23 Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!

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

Psalm 139

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

You have searched me,(A) Lord,
    and you know(B) me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;(C)
    you perceive my thoughts(D) from afar.
You discern my going out(E) and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.(F)
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.(G)
You hem me in(H) behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(I)
    too lofty(J) for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee(K) from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens,(L) you are there;
    if I make my bed(M) in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,(N)
    your right hand(O) will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(P) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;(Q)
    you knit me together(R) in my mother’s womb.(S)
14 I praise you(T) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,(U)
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made(V) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together(W) in the depths of the earth.(X)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(Y) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](Z) God!(AA)
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(AB)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand(AC)
    when I awake,(AD) I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!(AE)
    Away from me,(AF) you who are bloodthirsty!(AG)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries(AH) misuse your name.(AI)
21 Do I not hate those(AJ) who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor(AK) those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.(AL)
23 Search me,(AM) God, and know my heart;(AN)
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way(AO) in me,
    and lead me(AP) in the way everlasting.
