Psalms 139
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. O Lord, thou hast tried me and knowen me.
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמֹ֑ור יְהוָ֥ה חֲ֝קַרְתַּ֗נִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃ |
2 Thou knowest my sitting and my rising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off.
| אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּ֣י וְקוּמִ֑י בַּ֥נְתָּה לְ֝רֵעִ֗י מֵרָחֹֽוק׃ |
3 Thou compassest my pathes, and my lying downe, and art accustomed to all my wayes.
| אָרְחִ֣י וְרִבְעִ֣י זֵרִ֑יתָ וְֽכָל־דְּרָכַ֥י הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃ |
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but loe, thou knowest it wholy, O Lord.
| כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין מִ֭לָּה בִּלְשֹׁונִ֑י הֵ֥ן יְ֝הוָ֗ה יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃ |
5 Thou holdest mee straite behinde and before, and layest thine hand vpon me.
| אָחֹ֣ור וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה׃ |
6 Thy knowledge is too wonderfull for mee: it is so high that I cannot attaine vnto it.
| פִּלְאִיָּה (פְּלִ֣יאָֽה) דַ֣עַת מִמֶּ֑נִּי נִ֝שְׂגְּבָ֗ה לֹא־א֥וּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃ |
7 Whither shall I goe from thy Spirite? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
| אָ֭נָ֥ה אֵלֵ֣ךְ מֵרוּחֶ֑ךָ וְ֝אָ֗נָה מִפָּנֶ֥יךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃ |
| אִם־אֶסַּ֣ק שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑תָּה וְאַצִּ֖יעָה שְּׁאֹ֣ול הִנֶּֽךָּ׃ (Sheol h7585) |
9 Let mee take the winges of the morning, and dwell in the vttermost parts of the sea:
| אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי־שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם׃ |
10 Yet thither shall thine hand leade me, and thy right hand holde me.
| גַּם־שָׁ֭ם יָדְךָ֣ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ |
11 If I say, Yet the darkenes shall hide me, euen the night shalbe light about me.
| וָ֭אֹמַר אַךְ־חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה אֹ֣ור בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃ |
12 Yea, the darkenes hideth not from thee: but the night shineth as the day: the darkenes and light are both alike.
| גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא־יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיֹּ֣ום יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאֹורָֽה׃ |
13 For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe.
| כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ כִלְיֹתָ֑י תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗נִי בְּבֶ֣טֶן אִמִּֽי׃ |
14 I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderously made: marueilous are thy workes, and my soule knoweth it well.
| אֹֽודְךָ֗ עַ֤ל כִּ֥י נֹורָאֹ֗ות נִ֫פְלֵ֥יתִי נִפְלָאִ֥ים מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יֹדַ֥עַת מְאֹֽד׃ |
15 My bones are not hid from thee, though I was made in a secret place, and facioned beneath in the earth.
| לֹא־נִכְחַ֥ד עָצְמִ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂ֥יתִי בַסֵּ֑תֶר רֻ֝קַּ֗מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיֹּ֥ות אָֽרֶץ׃ |
16 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.
| גָּלְמִ֤י ׀ רָ֘א֤וּ עֵינֶ֗יךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ֮ כֻּלָּ֪ם יִכָּ֫תֵ֥בוּ יָמִ֥ים יֻצָּ֑רוּ וְלֹא (וְלֹ֖ו) אֶחָ֣ד בָּהֶֽם׃ |
17 Howe deare therefore are thy thoughtes vnto me, O God! how great is ye summe of them!
| וְלִ֗י מַה־יָּקְר֣וּ רֵעֶ֣יךָ אֵ֑ל מֶ֥ה עָ֝צְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ |
18 If I should count them, they are moe then the sand: when I wake, I am still with thee.
| אֶ֭סְפְּרֵם מֵחֹ֣ול יִרְבּ֑וּן הֱ֝קִיצֹ֗תִי וְעֹודִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
19 Oh that thou wouldest slay, O God, the wicked and bloody men, to whom I say, Depart ye from mee:
| אִם־תִּקְטֹ֖ל אֱלֹ֥והַּ ׀ רָשָׁ֑ע וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים ס֣וּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃ |
20 Which speake wickedly of thee, and being thine enemies are lifted vp in vaine.
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹ֭אמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּ֑ה נָשֻׂ֖א לַשָּׁ֣וְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃ |
21 Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and doe not I earnestly contend with those that rise vp against thee?
| הֲלֹֽוא־מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקֹומְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקֹוטָֽט׃ |
22 I hate them with an vnfained hatred, as they were mine vtter enemies.
| תַּכְלִ֣ית שִׂנְאָ֣ה שְׂנֵאתִ֑ים לְ֝אֹויְבִ֗ים הָ֣יוּ לִֽי׃ |
23 Try mee, O God, and knowe mine heart: prooue me and know my thoughtes,
| חָקְרֵ֣נִי אֵ֭ל וְדַ֣ע לְבָבִ֑י בְּ֝חָנֵ֗נִי וְדַ֣ע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃ |
24 And consider if there be any way of wickednes in me, and leade me in the way for euer.
| וּרְאֵ֗ה אִם־דֶּֽרֶךְ־עֹ֥צֶב בִּ֑י וּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עֹולָֽם׃ |
