Psalms 139
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，你已經鑒察我，認識我。
2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
我坐下，我起來，你都曉得； 你從遠處知道我的意念。
3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
我行路，我躺臥，你都細察； 你也深知我一切所行的。
4 For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
耶和華啊，我舌頭上的話， 你沒有一句不知道的。
5 I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
你在我前後環繞我， 按手在我身上。
6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
這樣的知識奇妙，是我不能測的， 至高，是我不能及的。
7 Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
我往哪裏去躲避你的靈？ 我往哪裏逃、躲避你的面？
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
我若升到天上，你在那裏； 我若在陰間下榻，你也在那裏。 (Sheol h7585)
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
我若展開清晨的翅膀， 飛到海極居住，
10 Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
就是在那裏，你的手必引導我； 你的右手也必扶持我。
11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
我若說：黑暗必定遮蔽我， 我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜；
12 Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
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。
13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
我的肺腑是你所造的； 我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。
14 I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
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。
15 My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
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。
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
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。
17 How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
上帝啊，你的意念向我何等寶貴！ 其數何等眾多！
18 If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
我若數點，比海沙更多； 我睡醒的時候，仍和你同在。
19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
上帝啊，你必要殺戮惡人； 所以，你們好流人血的，離開我去吧！
20 For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
因為他們說惡言頂撞你； 你的仇敵也妄稱你的名。
21 Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
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？
22 My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
我切切地恨惡他們， 以他們為仇敵。
23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
上帝啊，求你鑒察我，知道我的心思， 試煉我，知道我的意念，
24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
看在我裏面有甚麼惡行沒有， 引導我走永生的道路。
