Psalms 139
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
上主，您鑒察我，也認清我：
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
我一舉一動，您全然認清我，您由遠處已明徹我的心思。
3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with 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 not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
我的話尚未發言，上主，您已全都知曉。
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
您將我前後包圍，用您的聖手將我蔭庇。
6 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
這是超越我理智的奇事，是我不能明白的妙理。
7 Whither shall I from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy 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 ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. (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 take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
我若飛往日出的地方，我若住在海洋的西方，
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall 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 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me shall be night;
我若說：願黑暗把我籠罩，光明變成黑暗將我圍包；
12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].
黑暗與黑夜對您並不矇矓，黑夜與白晝對您一樣光明。
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in 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 thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right 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 frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought 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 Thine eyes did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all [my members] written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was none of 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 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
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 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
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 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
天主，恨不得您能殺掉惡人，叫流人血的兇遠離我身！
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.
他們無法無天地褻瀆您，他們不忠不義地攻擊您。
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
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 hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
我對他們深惡痛棄，視他們為我的仇敵。
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts:
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 be any way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
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。
