詩篇 139
1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，你已經鑒察我，認識我。
Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
2 我坐下，我起來，你都曉得； 你從遠處知道我的意念。
You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.
3 我行路，我躺臥，你都細察； 你也深知我一切所行的。
When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
4 耶和華啊，我舌頭上的話， 你沒有一句不知道的。
Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
5 你在我前後環繞我， 按手在我身上。
You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
6 這樣的知識奇妙，是我不能測的， 至高，是我不能及的。
I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
7 我往哪裏去躲避你的靈？ 我往哪裏逃、躲避你的面？
(Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]
If I went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)
9 我若展開清晨的翅膀， 飛到海極居住，
If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,
10 就是在那裏，你的手必引導我； 你的右手也必扶持我。
you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
11 我若說：黑暗必定遮蔽我， 我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜；
I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
12 黑暗也不能遮蔽我，使你不見， 黑夜卻如白晝發亮。 黑暗和光明，在你看都是一樣。
but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).
13 我的肺腑是你所造的； 我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。
You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
14 我要稱謝你，因我受造，奇妙可畏； 你的作為奇妙，這是我心深知道的。
I praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very well.
15 我在暗中受造，在地的深處被聯絡； 那時，我的形體並不向你隱藏。
When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
16 我未成形的體質，你的眼早已看見了； 你所定的日子，我尚未度一日， 你都寫在你的冊上了。
You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!
17 上帝啊，你的意念向我何等寶貴！ 其數何等眾多！
God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.
18 我若數點，比海沙更多； 我睡醒的時候，仍和你同在。
If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].
19 上帝啊，你必要殺戮惡人； 所以，你們好流人血的，離開我去吧！
God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.
20 因為他們說惡言頂撞你； 你的仇敵也妄稱你的名。
They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
21 耶和華啊，恨惡你的，我豈不恨惡他們嗎？ 攻擊你的，我豈不憎嫌他們嗎？
Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
22 我切切地恨惡他們， 以他們為仇敵。
I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
23 上帝啊，求你鑒察我，知道我的心思， 試煉我，知道我的意念，
God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
24 看在我裏面有甚麼惡行沒有， 引導我走永生的道路。
Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
