詩篇 139
1 上主，您鑒察我，也認清我：
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. O Lord, thou hast tried me and knowen 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 sitting and my rising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off.
3 我或行走或躺臥，您已先知，我的一切行動，您都熟悉。
Thou compassest my pathes, and my lying downe, and art accustomed to all my wayes.
4 我的話尚未發言，上主，您已全都知曉。
For there is not a word in my tongue, but loe, thou knowest it wholy, O Lord.
5 您將我前後包圍，用您的聖手將我蔭庇。
Thou holdest mee straite behinde and before, and layest thine hand vpon me.
6 這是超越我理智的奇事，是我不能明白的妙理。
Thy knowledge is too wonderfull for mee: it is so high that I cannot attaine vnto 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 goe from thy Spirite? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascende into heauen, thou art there: if I lye downe in hell, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
9 我若飛往日出的地方，我若住在海洋的西方，
Let mee take the winges of the morning, and dwell in the vttermost parts of the sea:
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。
Yet thither shall thine hand leade me, and thy right hand holde me.
11 我若說：願黑暗把我籠罩，光明變成黑暗將我圍包；
If I say, Yet the darkenes shall hide me, euen the night shalbe light about me.
12 黑暗與黑夜對您並不矇矓，黑夜與白晝對您一樣光明。
Yea, the darkenes hideth not from thee: but the night shineth as the day: the darkenes and light are both alike.
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 hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe.
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 praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderously made: marueilous are thy workes, and my soule knoweth 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 are not hid from thee, though I was made in a secret place, and facioned beneath in 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 did see me, when I was without forme: for in thy booke were all things written, which in continuance were facioned, when there was none of them before.
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！
Howe deare therefore are thy thoughtes vnto me, O God! how great is ye summe of them!
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。
If I should count them, they are moe then the sand: when I wake, I 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, O God, the wicked and bloody men, to whom I say, Depart ye from mee:
20 他們無法無天地褻瀆您，他們不忠不義地攻擊您。
Which speake wickedly of thee, and being thine enemies are lifted vp in vaine.
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？
Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and doe not I earnestly contend with those that rise vp against thee?
22 我對他們深惡痛棄，視他們為我的仇敵。
I hate them with an vnfained hatred, as they were mine vtter 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。
Try mee, O God, and knowe mine heart: prooue me and know my thoughtes,
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 consider if there be any way of wickednes in me, and leade me in the way for euer.
