< Psalms 139 >

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me.
εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ κύριε ἐδοκίμασάς με καὶ ἔγνως με
2 You have known my sitting down and my rising up again.
σὺ ἔγνως τὴν καθέδραν μου καὶ τὴν ἔγερσίν μου σὺ συνῆκας τοὺς διαλογισμούς μου ἀπὸ μακρόθεν
3 You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated.
τὴν τρίβον μου καὶ τὴν σχοῖνόν μου σὺ ἐξιχνίασας καὶ πάσας τὰς ὁδούς μου προεῖδες
4 And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue.
ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν λόγος ἐν γλώσσῃ μου
5 Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
ἰδού κύριε σὺ ἔγνως πάντα τὰ ἔσχατα καὶ τὰ ἀρχαῖα σὺ ἔπλασάς με καὶ ἔθηκας ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὴν χεῖρά σου
6 Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
ἐθαυμαστώθη ἡ γνῶσίς σου ἐξ ἐμοῦ ἐκραταιώθη οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πρὸς αὐτήν
7 Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
ποῦ πορευθῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου ποῦ φύγω
8 If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near. (Sheol h7585)
ἐὰν ἀναβῶ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν σὺ εἶ ἐκεῖ ἐὰν καταβῶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην πάρει (Sheol h7585)
9 If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
ἐὰν ἀναλάβοιμι τὰς πτέρυγάς μου κατ’ ὄρθρον καὶ κατασκηνώσω εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα τῆς θαλάσσης
10 even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖ ἡ χείρ σου ὁδηγήσει με καὶ καθέξει με ἡ δεξιά σου
11 And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
καὶ εἶπα ἄρα σκότος καταπατήσει με καὶ νὺξ φωτισμὸς ἐν τῇ τρυφῇ μου
12 But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
ὅτι σκότος οὐ σκοτισθήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ νὺξ ὡς ἡμέρα φωτισθήσεται ὡς τὸ σκότος αὐτῆς οὕτως καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτῆς
13 For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
ὅτι σὺ ἐκτήσω τοὺς νεφρούς μου κύριε ἀντελάβου μου ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρός μου
14 I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ὅτι φοβερῶς ἐθαυμαστώθην θαυμάσια τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ἡ ψυχή μου γινώσκει σφόδρα
15 My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower parts of the earth.
οὐκ ἐκρύβη τὸ ὀστοῦν μου ἀπὸ σοῦ ὃ ἐποίησας ἐν κρυφῇ καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ἐν τοῖς κατωτάτοις τῆς γῆς
16 Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
τὸ ἀκατέργαστόν μου εἴδοσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον σου πάντες γραφήσονται ἡμέρας πλασθήσονται καὶ οὐθεὶς ἐν αὐτοῖς
17 But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
ἐμοὶ δὲ λίαν ἐτιμήθησαν οἱ φίλοι σου ὁ θεός λίαν ἐκραταιώθησαν αἱ ἀρχαὶ αὐτῶν
18 I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
ἐξαριθμήσομαι αὐτούς καὶ ὑπὲρ ἄμμον πληθυνθήσονται ἐξηγέρθην καὶ ἔτι εἰμὶ μετὰ σοῦ
19 O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
ἐὰν ἀποκτείνῃς ἁμαρτωλούς ὁ θεός ἄνδρες αἱμάτων ἐκκλίνατε ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ
20 For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
ὅτι ἐρεῖς εἰς διαλογισμόν λήμψονται εἰς ματαιότητα τὰς πόλεις σου
21 Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
οὐχὶ τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε κύριε ἐμίσησα καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἐξετηκόμην
22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
τέλειον μῖσος ἐμίσουν αὐτούς εἰς ἐχθροὺς ἐγένοντό μοι
23 Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths.
δοκίμασόν με ὁ θεός καὶ γνῶθι τὴν καρδίαν μου ἔτασόν με καὶ γνῶθι τὰς τρίβους μου
24 And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.
καὶ ἰδὲ εἰ ὁδὸς ἀνομίας ἐν ἐμοί καὶ ὁδήγησόν με ἐν ὁδῷ αἰωνίᾳ
