Psalm 139
Amplified Bible
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.
2
You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];
You understand my thought from afar.(A)
3
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
4
Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.(B)
5
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.
6
Such [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high [above me], I cannot reach it.
7
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8
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)
9
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
- 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.

Omnipresencia y omnisciencia de Dios
Al músico principal. Salmo de David.
139 Oh Jehová, tú me has examinado y conocido.
2 Tú has conocido mi sentarme y mi levantarme;
Has entendido desde lejos mis pensamientos.
3 Has escudriñado mi andar y mi reposo,
Y todos mis caminos te son conocidos.
4 Pues aún no está la palabra en mi lengua,
Y he aquí, oh Jehová, tú la sabes toda.
5 Detrás y delante me rodeaste,
Y sobre mí pusiste tu mano.
6 Tal conocimiento es demasiado maravilloso para mí;
Alto es, no lo puedo comprender.
7 ¿A dónde me iré de tu Espíritu?
¿Y a dónde huiré de tu presencia?
8 Si subiere a los cielos, allí estás tú;
Y si en el Seol hiciere mi estrado, he aquí, allí tú estás.
9 Si tomare las alas del alba
Y habitare en el extremo del mar,
10 Aun allí me guiará tu mano,
Y me asirá tu diestra.
11 Si dijere: Ciertamente las tinieblas me encubrirán;
Aun la noche resplandecerá alrededor de mí.
12 Aun las tinieblas no encubren de ti,
Y la noche resplandece como el día;
Lo mismo te son las tinieblas que la luz.
13 Porque tú formaste mis entrañas;
Tú me hiciste en el vientre de mi madre.
14 Te alabaré; porque formidables, maravillosas son tus obras;
Estoy maravillado,
Y mi alma lo sabe muy bien.
15 No fue encubierto de ti mi cuerpo,
Bien que en oculto fui formado,
Y entretejido en lo más profundo de la tierra.
16 Mi embrión vieron tus ojos,
Y en tu libro estaban escritas todas aquellas cosas
Que fueron luego formadas,
Sin faltar una de ellas.
17 ¡Cuán preciosos me son, oh Dios, tus pensamientos!
¡Cuán grande es la suma de ellos!
18 Si los enumero, se multiplican más que la arena;
Despierto, y aún estoy contigo.
19 De cierto, oh Dios, harás morir al impío;
Apartaos, pues, de mí, hombres sanguinarios.
20 Porque blasfemias dicen ellos contra ti;
Tus enemigos toman en vano tu nombre.
21 ¿No odio, oh Jehová, a los que te aborrecen,
Y me enardezco contra tus enemigos?
22 Los aborrezco por completo;
Los tengo por enemigos.
23 Examíname, oh Dios, y conoce mi corazón;
Pruébame y conoce mis pensamientos;
24 Y ve si hay en mí camino de perversidad,
Y guíame en el camino eterno.
