詩篇 139
1 上主，您鑒察我，也認清我：
For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me.
2 我一舉一動，您全然認清我，您由遠處已明徹我的心思。
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before.
3 我或行走或躺臥，您已先知，我的一切行動，您都熟悉。
Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways.
4 我的話尚未發言，上主，您已全都知曉。
For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things,
5 您將我前後包圍，用您的聖手將我蔭庇。
the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 這是超越我理智的奇事，是我不能明白的妙理。
The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it.
7 我往何處，才能脫離您的神能？我去那裏，才能逃避您的面容？
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 我若飛往日出的地方，我若住在海洋的西方，
If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],
10 您的雙手仍在那裏引導著我，您的聖手還在那裏扶持著我。
for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me.
11 我若說：願黑暗把我籠罩，光明變成黑暗將我圍包；
When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.
12 黑暗與黑夜對您並不矇矓，黑夜與白晝對您一樣光明。
For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to thee].
13 您造成了我的五臟和六腑，您在我成胎之中締結了我。
For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb.
14 上主，我讚美您，因我被造驚奇神奧；您的工作千奇萬妙！我的生命，您全知曉。
I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows [it] well.
15 我何時在暗中構形，我何時在母胎造成，我的骨骸您全知情，
My bones, which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 我尚在母胎，您已親眼看見，世人的歲月尚未來到以前，都已全部記錄在冊表，都已全由您預先定好。
Thine eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them.
17 天主，您的策略，對我何其深奧！您策略的總數又是何其繁浩！
But thy friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.
18 我若去計數，而它們多於沙粒；設若數到底，我仍同您在一起。
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with thee.
19 天主，恨不得您能殺掉惡人，叫流人血的兇遠離我身！
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God; depart from me, ye men of blood.
20 他們無法無天地褻瀆您，他們不忠不義地攻擊您。
For thou wilt say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take thy cities in vain.
21 上主，憎恨您的人，我怎能不痛惡？上主，背叛您的人，我怎能不厭惡？
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate thee? and wasted away because of thine enemies?
22 我對他們深惡痛棄，視他們為我的仇敵。
I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.
23 天主，求您檢察我，洞知我的心曲；天主，求您考驗我，明悉我的思慮。
Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;
24 求您察看我，我是否走入岐途，求您引導我邁向上永生的道路。
and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
