Psalms 139
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, you have proved me, and known me.
上主，您鑒察我，也認清我：
2 You know my down-sitting and mine up-rising: you understand my thoughts long before.
我一舉一動，您全然認清我，您由遠處已明徹我的心思。
3 You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.
我或行走或躺臥，您已先知，我的一切行動，您都熟悉。
4 For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, you have known all things,
我的話尚未發言，上主，您已全都知曉。
5 the last and the first: you have fashioned me, and laid your hand upon me.
您將我前後包圍，用您的聖手將我蔭庇。
6 The knowledge of you is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I can’t [attain] to it.
這是超越我理智的奇事，是我不能明白的妙理。
7 Whither shall I go from your Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
我往何處，才能脫離您的神能？我去那裏，才能逃避您的面容？
8 If I should go up to heaven, you are there: if I should go down to hell, you are present. (Sheol h7585)
我若上升於高天，您已在那裏，我若下降於陰府，您也在那裏。 (Sheol h7585)
9 If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],
我若飛往日出的地方，我若住在海洋的西方，
10 for even there your hand would guide me, and your right hand would hold me.
您的雙手仍在那裏引導著我，您的聖手還在那裏扶持著我。
11 When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.
我若說：願黑暗把我籠罩，光明變成黑暗將我圍包；
12 For darkness will not be darkness with you; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to you].
黑暗與黑夜對您並不矇矓，黑夜與白晝對您一樣光明。
13 For you, O Lord, have possessed my reins; you have helped me from my mother's womb.
您造成了我的五臟和六腑，您在我成胎之中締結了我。
14 I will give you thanks; for you are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are your works; and my soul knows [it] well.
上主，我讚美您，因我被造驚奇神奧；您的工作千奇萬妙！我的生命，您全知曉。
15 My bones, which you made in secret were not hidden from you, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
我何時在暗中構形，我何時在母胎造成，我的骨骸您全知情，
16 Your eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in your book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them.
我尚在母胎，您已親眼看見，世人的歲月尚未來到以前，都已全部記錄在冊表，都已全由您預先定好。
17 But your friends, O God, have been greatly honored by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.
天主，您的策略，對我何其深奧！您策略的總數又是何其繁浩！
18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with you.
我若去計數，而它們多於沙粒；設若數到底，我仍同您在一起。
19 Oh that you would kill the wicked, O God; depart from me, you men of blood.
天主，恨不得您能殺掉惡人，叫流人血的兇遠離我身！
20 For you will say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take your cities in vain.
他們無法無天地褻瀆您，他們不忠不義地攻擊您。
21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate you? and wasted away because of your enemies?
上主，憎恨您的人，我怎能不痛惡？上主，背叛您的人，我怎能不厭惡？
22 I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.
我對他們深惡痛棄，視他們為我的仇敵。
23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;
天主，求您檢察我，洞知我的心曲；天主，求您考驗我，明悉我的思慮。
24 and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
求您察看我，我是否走入岐途，求您引導我邁向上永生的道路。
