Psalm 139
English Standard Version
Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
139 O Lord, you have (A)searched me and known me!
2 You (B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you (C)discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, (D)you know it altogether.
5 You (E)hem me in, behind and before,
and (F)lay your hand upon me.
6 (G)Such knowledge is (H)too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 (I)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where (J)shall I flee from your presence?
8 (K)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
(L)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall (M)lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, (N)“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 (O)even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you (P)formed my inward parts;
you (Q)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
(R)Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 (S)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in (T)the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your (U)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 your (V)thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 (W)If I would count them, they are more than (X)the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
19 Oh that you would (Y)slay the wicked, O God!
O (Z)men of blood, (AA)depart from me!
20 They (AB)speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies (AC)take your name in vain.[b]
21 (AD)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not (AE)loathe those who (AF)rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
(AG)Try me and know my thoughts![c]
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and (AH)lead me in (AI)the way everlasting![d]

Salmo 139
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Hingpit nga Kahibalo ug Pag-atiman sa Dios
139 Ginoo, gisusi mo ako ug nakaila ka kanako.
2 Nahibalo ka kon kanus-a ako molingkod o motindog.
Bisan anaa ikaw sa halayo nasayod ka sa tanan kong ginahunahuna.
3 Ginabantayan mo ako sa akong paglakaw ug pagpahulay.
Nahibalo ka sa tanan kong ginahimo.
4 Ginoo, bisan wala pa ako makasulti, nahibaloan mo nang daan ang akong isulti.
5 Anaa ka sa akong palibot,
ug gipanalipdan mo ako sa imong gahom.
6 Ang imong kaalam labihan gayod ka katingalahan alang kanako;
dili ko kini matugkad.
7 Asa man ako moadto aron makaikyas sa imong Espiritu?[a]
Makatago ba ako sa imong presensya?
8 Kon mosaka ako sa langit, atua ka;
kon moadto ako sa dapit sa mga patay, atua ka usab.
9 Kon molupad ako paingon sa sidlakan o mopuyo sa kinalayoan nga dapit sa kasadpan,
10 atua ka gihapon didto sa pag-agak ug pagtabang kanako.
11 Kon hangyoon ko ang kangitngit sa pagtabon kanako,
ug ang kahayag nga naglibot kanako nga mahimong gabii,
12 apan bisan ang kangitngit dili ngitngit alang kanimo,
ug ang gabii sama ra kahayag sa adlaw.
Kay ang kangitngit ug ang kahayag managsama ra alang kanimo.
13 Nakaila ka kanako kay ikaw ang naghimo kanako.
Ikaw ang nagaumol kanako didto sa tagoangkan sa akong inahan.
14 Gidayeg ko ikaw kay katingalahan gayod ang pagkahimo mo kanako.
Katingalahan ang imong mga buhat, ug nasayod gayod ako niini.
15 Nakita mo ang akong mga bukog sa dihang gihimo ako sa tago sulod sa tagoangkan sa akong inahan.[b]
16 Nakita mo na ako sa wala pa ako maporma.
Ang gitagal nga mga adlaw sa akong kinabuhi nahisulat na sa imong libro, bisan wala pa kini magsugod.
17 O Dios, dili ko matugkad ang imong hunahuna;[c]
labihan kini kadaghan.
18 Kon ihapon ko kini, daghan pa kini kay sa balas.
Sa akong pagmata ang akong hunahuna anaa gihapon kanimo.[d]
19 O Dios, hinaut nga pamatyon mo ang mga tawong daotan!
Hinaut nga magpalayo kanako ang mga tawong motapos sa kinabuhi sa uban.
20 Nagasulti sila ug daotan batok kanimo.
Gipanamastamasan nila ang imong ngalan.
21 Ginoo, gikasilagan ko ang mga nasilag kanimo.
Gikapungtan ko ang nakigbatok kanimo.
22 Labihan gayod ang akong kapungot kanila;
giisip ko silang akong mga kaaway.
23 Susiha ako, O Dios, aron mahibaloan mo kon unsay anaa sa akong kasingkasing.
Sulayi ako, aron mahibaloan mo kon unsay anaa sa akong hunahuna.
24 Tan-awa kon may nahimo ba akong daotan,
ug agaka ako sa dalan nga angay kong agian hangtod sa kahangtoran.

New International Version
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me,(A) Lord,
and you know(B) me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;(C)
you perceive my thoughts(D) from afar.
3 You discern my going out(E) and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.(F)
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.(G)
5 You hem me in(H) behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(I)
too lofty(J) for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee(K) from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens,(L) you are there;
if I make my bed(M) in the depths, you are there.
9 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.
