詩篇 139
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝的全知和佑護
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
139 耶和華啊，你洞察我的內心，
知道我的一切。
2 我或坐下或起來，你都知道，
你從遠處就知道我的心思意念。
3 我或外出或躺臥，你都瞭解，
你熟悉我的一切行為。
4 耶和華啊，我話未出口，
你已洞悉一切。
5 你在我前後護衛著我，
以大能的手保護我。
6 這一切實在是太奇妙，
太深奧了，我無法明白。
7 我去哪裡可躲開你的靈？
我跑到哪裡可避開你的面？
8 我若升到天上，你在那裡；
我若下到陰間，你也在那裡。
9 縱使我乘著晨風飛到遙遠的海岸居住，
10 就是在那裡，
你的手必引導我，
你大能的手必扶持我。
11 我想，黑暗一定可以遮蔽我，
讓我四圍變成黑夜。
12 然而，即使黑暗也無法遮住你的視線。
在你看來，黑夜亮如白晝，
黑暗與光明無異。
13 你創造了我，
使我在母腹中成形。
14 我稱謝你，
因為你創造我的作為是多麼奇妙可畏，
我心深深知道。
15 我在隱秘處被造、在母腹中成形的時候，
你對我的形體一清二楚。
16 我的身體還未成形，
你早已看見了。
你為我一生所定的年日，
我還沒有出生就已經記在你的冊子上了。
17 耶和華啊，
你的意念對我來說是何等寶貴，何等浩博！
18 我若數算，它們比海沙還多。
我醒來的時候，
依然與你在一起。
19 耶和華啊，願你殺戮惡人！
嗜血成性的人啊，你們走開！
20 他們惡言頂撞你，
你的仇敵褻瀆你的名。
21 耶和華啊，
我憎恨那些憎恨你的人，
我厭惡那些攻擊你的人。
22 我恨透了他們，
我視他們為敵人。
23 上帝啊，求你鑒察我，
好知道我的內心；
求你試驗我，好知道我的心思。
24 求你看看我裡面是否有邪惡，
引導我走永恆的道路。
Psalm 139
Revised Standard Version
The Inescapable God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
139 O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me!
2 Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up;
thou discernest my thoughts from afar.
3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou dost beset me behind and before,
and layest thy hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, thou art there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there thy hand shall lead me,
and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Let only darkness cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to thee,
the night is bright as the day;
for darkness is as light with thee.
13 For thou didst form my inward parts,
thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful.[a]
Wonderful are thy works!
Thou knowest me right well;
15 my frame was not hidden from thee,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.
16 Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance;
in thy book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
When I awake, I am still with thee.[b]
19 O that thou wouldst slay the wicked, O God,
and that men of blood would depart from me,
20 men who maliciously defy thee,
who lift themselves up against thee for evil![c]
21 Do I not hate them that hate thee, O Lord?
And do I not loathe them that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any wicked[d] way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting![e]
