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。

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。

God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

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

You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];
You understand my thought from afar.(A)

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.(B)

You have enclosed me behind and before,
And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.

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


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

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.(C)

If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.
11 
If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me,
And the night will be the only light around me,”
12 
Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,
But the night shines as bright as the day;
Darkness and light are alike to You.(D)

13 
For You formed my innermost parts;
You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
14 
I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was being formed in secret,
And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.
16 
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were appointed for me,
When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

17 
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!(E)
18 
If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.

19 
[a]O that You would kill the wicked, O God;
Go away from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.(F)
20 
For they speak against You wickedly,
Your enemies take Your name in vain.(G)
21 
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 
I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.

23 
Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;
24 
And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 139:19 In the first eighteen verses of this psalm, the psalmist acknowledges that God knows everything that the psalmist ever does, no matter when or where he does it. Although God’s vast knowledge of an individual’s deeds can be reassuring for the righteous, it should be frightening for the wicked. In verses 19-24, the psalmist distances himself from the wicked and asks God to help him live in such a way that pleases God.
