God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

139 Lord, You have (A)searched me and known me.
You (B)know [a]when I sit down and [b]when I get up;
You (C)understand my thought from far away.
You [c](D)scrutinize my [d]path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
[e]Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, Lord, You (E)know it all.
You have (F)encircled me behind and in front,
And (G)placed Your hand upon me.

139 1-6 God, investigate my life;
    get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
    even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
    I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
    before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
    then up ahead and you’re there, too—
    your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
    I can’t take it all in!

For the choir director; a psalm by David.

139 O Lord, you have examined me, and you know me.
You alone know when I sit down and when I get up.
You read my thoughts from far away.
You watch me when I travel and when I rest.
You are familiar with all my ways.
Even before there is a ⌞single⌟ word on my tongue,
you know all about it, Lord.
You are all around me—in front of me and in back of me.
You lay your hand on me.

Omnipresencia y omnisciencia del Señor

Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.

139 Oh Señor, Tú me has escudriñado y conocido(A).
Tú conoces mi sentarme y mi levantarme(B);
Desde lejos comprendes mis pensamientos(C).
Tú escudriñas mi senda y mi descanso,
Y conoces bien todos mis caminos(D).
Aun antes de que haya palabra en mi boca,
Oh Señor, Tú ya la sabes toda(E).
Por detrás y por delante me has cercado(F),
Y Tu mano pusiste sobre mí(G).
