Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17How precious to me are your thoughts,139:17 Or How amazing are your thoughts concerning me God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
第 139 篇
上帝的全知和佑護
大衛的詩，交給樂長。
1耶和華啊，你洞察我的內心，
知道我的一切。
2我或坐下或起來，你都知道，
你從遠處就知道我的心思意念。
3我或外出或躺臥，你都瞭解，
你熟悉我的一切行為。
4耶和華啊，我話未出口，
你已洞悉一切。
5你在我前後護衛著我，
以大能的手保護我。
6這一切實在是太奇妙，
太深奧了，我無法明白。
7我去哪裡可躲開你的靈？
我跑到哪裡可避開你的面？
8我若升到天上，你在那裡；
我若下到陰間，你也在那裡。
9縱使我乘著晨風飛到遙遠的海岸居住，
10就是在那裡，
你的手必引導我，
你大能的手必扶持我。
11我想，黑暗一定可以遮蔽我，
讓我四圍變成黑夜。
12然而，即使黑暗也無法遮住你的視線。
在你看來，黑夜亮如白晝，
黑暗與光明無異。
13你創造了我，
使我在母腹中成形。
14我稱謝你，
因為你創造我的作為是多麼奇妙可畏，
我心深深知道。
15我在隱秘處被造、在母腹中成形的時候，
你對我的形體一清二楚。
16我的身體還未成形，
你早已看見了。
你為我一生所定的年日，
我還沒有出生就已經記在你的冊子上了。
17耶和華啊，
你的意念對我來說是何等寶貴，何等浩博！
18我若數算，它們比海沙還多。
我醒來的時候，
依然與你在一起。
19耶和華啊，願你殺戮惡人！
嗜血成性的人啊，你們走開！
20他們惡言頂撞你，
你的仇敵褻瀆你的名。
21耶和華啊，
我憎恨那些憎恨你的人，
我厭惡那些攻擊你的人。
22我恨透了他們，
我視他們為敵人。
23上帝啊，求你鑒察我，
好知道我的內心；
求你試驗我，好知道我的心思。
24求你看看我裡面是否有邪惡，
引導我走永恆的道路。
