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.

na kunijua.
2139:2 2Fal 19:27; Za 94:11; Mit 24:12; Yer 12:3Unajua ninapoketi na ninapoinuka;

wewe walijua kikamilifu, Ee Bwana.
5139:5 1Sam 25:16; Za 32:10; 34:7; 125:2Umenizunguka nyuma na mbele;
umeweka mkono wako juu yangu.
6139:6 Za 131:1; Rum 11:33Maarifa haya ni ya ajabu mno kwangu,
ni ya juu sana kwangu kuyafikia.
7139:7 Yer 23:24Niende wapi nijiepushe na Roho yako?
Niende wapi niukimbie uso wako?

nikifanya vilindi139:8 Vilindi ina maana ya Kuzimu, ambayo ni Sheol kwa Kiebrania. kuwa kitanda changu,
wewe uko huko.
9Kama nikipanda juu ya mbawa za mapambazuko,
kama nikikaa pande za mbali za bahari,
10139:10 Za 23:3; 108:6; Isa 41:10hata huko mkono wako utaniongoza,
mkono wako wa kuume utanishika kwa uthabiti.
11Kama nikisema, “Hakika giza litanificha
na nuru inayonizunguka iwe usiku,”
12139:12 Ay 34:22; Dan 2:22hata giza halitakuwa giza kwako,
usiku utangʼaa kama mchana,
kwa kuwa giza ni kama nuru kwako.
13139:13 Za 119:73; Ay 10:11; Isa 44:2, 24; 46:3; 49:5; Yer 1:5Kwa maana wewe ndiwe uliyeumba utu wangu wa ndani;
uliniunga pamoja tumboni mwa mama yangu.
14Ninakusifu kwa sababu nimeumbwa
kwa namna ya ajabu na ya kutisha;
kazi zako ni za ajabu,
ninajua hayo kikamilifu.
15139:15 Mhu 11:5; Ay 10:11; Za 63:9Umbile langu halikufichika kwako,
nilipoumbwa mahali pa siri.
Nilipoungwa pamoja kwa ustadi katika vilindi vya nchi,
16139:16 Ay 33:29; Za 90:12macho yako yaliniona kabla mwili wangu haujakamilika.
Siku zangu zote ulizonipangia
ziliandikwa katika kitabu chako
kabla haijakuwepo hata moja.
17139:17 Za 92:5; Ay 5:9Tazama jinsi yalivyo ya thamani mawazo yako kwangu, Ee Mungu!
Jinsi jumla yake ilivyo kubwa!
18139:18 Za 40:5; 3:5; Ay 29:18Kama ningezihesabu,
zingekuwa nyingi kuliko mchanga.
Niamkapo,
bado niko pamoja nawe.
19139:19 Za 5:6; 6:8; 59:2; Isa 11:4Laiti ungewachinja waovu, Ee Mungu!
Ondokeni kwangu, ninyi wamwaga damu!
20139:20 Za 65:7; Kum 5:11; Ay 21:14-15; Yud 15Wanazungumza juu yako wakiwa na kusudi baya,
adui zako wanatumia vibaya jina lako.
21139:21 2Nya 19:2; Za 31:6; 26:5; 119:113Ee Bwana, je, nisiwachukie wanaokuchukia?
Nisiwachukie sana wanaoinuka dhidi yako?
22139:22 Mt 5:43Sina kitu zaidi ya chuki dhidi yao,
ninawahesabu ni adui zangu.

nijaribu na ujue mawazo yangu.
24139:24 Yer 25:5; 36:3; Za 5:8; 23:2; 143:10Uone kama kuna njia iletayo machukizo ndani yangu,
uniongoze katika njia ya milele.
