Salmos 139
Nueva Biblia Viva
Al director musical. Salmo de David.
139 Señor, tú me has examinado el corazón y me conoces muy bien. 2 Sabes si me siento o me levantó. Cuando estoy lejos, conoces cada uno de mis pensamientos. 3 Trazas la senda delante de mí, y me dices dónde debo descansar. Cada momento sabes dónde estoy. 4 Sabes lo que voy a decir antes que lo diga, Señor. 5 Por delante y por detrás me rodeas, y colocas tu mano sobre mi cabeza.
6 Conocimiento tan maravilloso está más allá de mi comprensión; tan grande es que no puedo entenderlo. 7 ¡Jamás podré alejarme de tu Espíritu! ¡Jamás podré huir de su presencia! 8 Si me voy al cielo, allí estás tú. Si desciendo al lugar de los muertos, allí estás. 9 Si cabalgo en los vientos matutinos y habito en los lejanos océanos, 10 aun allí me guiará tu mano, tu fuerza me sostendrá. 11 Puedo pedirle a las tinieblas que me oculten; y a la luz que me rodea que se haga noche. 12 Pero aun en las tinieblas no puedo ocultarme de ti; para ti la noche es tan brillante como el día. Para ti son lo mismo las tinieblas que la luz.
13 Tú hiciste todas las delicadas partes internas de mi cuerpo y las uniste en el vientre de mi madre. 14 ¡Gracias por haberme hecho tan admirable! Es admirable pensar en ello. Maravillosa es la obra de tus manos, y eso lo sé muy bien. 15 Tú me observaste cuando en lo más recóndito era yo formado. 16 Tus ojos vieron mi cuerpo en gestación: todo estaba ya escrito en tu libro; todos mis días se estaban diseñando, aunque no existía uno solo de ellos.
17 ¡Cuán preciosos son los pensamientos que tienes de mí, oh Dios! ¡Son innumerables! 18 No puedo contarlos, superan en número a los granos de arena. Y cuando despierto en la mañana, tú todavía estás conmigo.
19 Dios, si solamente destruyeras a los malvados. ¡Apártense de mi vida, ustedes, asesinos! 20 Ellos blasfeman contra ti; tus enemigos toman tu nombre en vano. 21 Señor, ¿no debo odiar a quienes te odian? ¿No detesto a los que te rechazan? 22 Sí, los odio, con un odio implacable, pues tus enemigos son mis enemigos.
23 Examíname, Dios, y conoce mi corazón; pruébame y conoce mis pensamientos. 24 Señálame lo que en mí te ofende, y guíame por la senda de la vida eterna.
Psalm 139
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.

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]
