< Psalms 139 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, you have examined me from the inside out—you know everything about me!
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. TUHAN, Engkau menyelidiki dan mengenal aku;
2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even when I'm a long way away.
Engkau mengetahui, kalau aku duduk atau berdiri, Engkau mengerti pikiranku dari jauh.
3 You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.
Engkau memeriksa aku, kalau aku berjalan dan berbaring, segala jalanku Kaumaklumi.
4 Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.
Sebab sebelum lidahku mengeluarkan perkataan, sesungguhnya, semuanya telah Kauketahui, ya TUHAN.
5 You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.
Dari belakang dan dari depan Engkau mengurung aku, dan Engkau menaruh tangan-Mu ke atasku.
6 This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!
Terlalu ajaib bagiku pengetahuan itu, terlalu tinggi, tidak sanggup aku mencapainya.
7 Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your presence?
Ke mana aku dapat pergi menjauhi roh-Mu, ke mana aku dapat lari dari hadapan-Mu?
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol h7585)
Jika aku mendaki ke langit, Engkau di sana; jika aku menaruh tempat tidurku di dunia orang mati, di situpun Engkau. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I were to fly away on wings of the dawn to the east; if I were to live on the far western shore of the sea,
Jika aku terbang dengan sayap fajar, dan membuat kediaman di ujung laut,
10 even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would support me.
juga di sana tangan-Mu akan menuntun aku, dan tangan kanan-Mu memegang aku.
11 If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,
Jika aku berkata: "Biarlah kegelapan saja melingkupi aku, dan terang sekelilingku menjadi malam,"
12 Even darkness would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.
maka kegelapanpun tidak menggelapkan bagi-Mu, dan malam menjadi terang seperti siang; kegelapan sama seperti terang.
13 You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.
Sebab Engkaulah yang membentuk buah pinggangku, menenun aku dalam kandungan ibuku.
14 I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu oleh karena kejadianku dahsyat dan ajaib; ajaib apa yang Kaubuat, dan jiwaku benar-benar menyadarinya.
15 My growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together “in the depths of the earth.”
Tulang-tulangku tidak terlindung bagi-Mu, ketika aku dijadikan di tempat yang tersembunyi, dan aku direkam di bagian-bagian bumi yang paling bawah;
16 You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
mata-Mu melihat selagi aku bakal anak, dan dalam kitab-Mu semuanya tertulis hari-hari yang akan dibentuk, sebelum ada satupun dari padanya.
17 God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!
Dan bagiku, betapa sulitnya pikiran-Mu, ya Allah! Betapa besar jumlahnya!
18 If I tried to count them, they would be more than every grain of sand. Yet when I awake I am still with you.
Jika aku mau menghitungnya, itu lebih banyak dari pada pasir. Apabila aku berhenti, masih saja aku bersama-sama Engkau.
19 God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!
Sekiranya Engkau mematikan orang fasik, ya Allah, sehingga menjauh dari padaku penumpah-penumpah darah,
20 When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.
yang berkata-kata dusta terhadap Engkau, dan melawan Engkau dengan sia-sia.
21 Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!
Masakan aku tidak membenci orang-orang yang membenci Engkau, ya TUHAN, dan tidak merasa jemu kepada orang-orang yang bangkit melawan Engkau?
22 I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my enemies!
Aku sama sekali membenci mereka, mereka menjadi musuhku.
23 Examine me carefully, God, so you can be sure of my true feelings. Check me out so you can know what I really think.
Selidikilah aku, ya Allah, dan kenallah hatiku, ujilah aku dan kenallah pikiran-pikiranku;
24 Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.
lihatlah, apakah jalanku serong, dan tuntunlah aku di jalan yang kekal!
