< Psalms 139 >
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O Yahweh you have examined me and you have known [me].
For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, you have examined me from the inside out—you know everything about me!
2 You you know sitting my and standing my you understand thought[s] my from a distance.
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.
3 Traveling I and lying down my you sift and all ways my you know intimately.
You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.
4 For there not [is] a word on tongue my there! O Yahweh you know all of it.
Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.
5 Back part and front you enclose me and you have put on me hand your.
You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.
6 ([is too] wonderful *Q(k)*) Knowledge for me it is set on high not I am able to it.
This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!
7 Where? will I go from spirit your and where? from presence your will I flee.
Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your presence?
8 If I will ascend heavens [are] there you and I will spread as a bed Sheol there [are] you. (Sheol )
If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol )
9 I will rise up [the] wings of dawn I dwell at [the] end of [the] sea.
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,
10 Also there hand your it will lead me and it will grasp me right [hand] your.
even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would support me.
11 And I said surely darkness it will crush me and [will be] night [the] light behind me.
If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,
12 Also darkness not it is [too] dark for you and night like the day it shines as darkness as the light.
Even darkness would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.
13 For you you created kidneys my you wove together me in [the] womb of mother my.
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.
14 I will give thanks to you on for awesome I am wonderful [are] wonderful works your and self my [is] knowing exceedingly.
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
15 Not it was hidden bone[s] my from you who I was made in the secret place I was formed in [the] lower parts of [the] earth.
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.”
16 Shapeless form my - they saw eyes your and on scroll your all of them they were written days [which] they were ordained (and to it *Q(K)*) one among them.
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.
17 And to me how! they are precious thoughts your O God how! they are vast sum their.
God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!
18 I will count them more than sand they will be numerous! I awoke and still I [am] with you.
If I tried to count them, they would be more than every grain of sand. Yet when I awake I am still with you.
19 If you will kill O God - [the] wicked and O men of blood depart from me.
God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!
20 [those] who They speak of you to wickedness they lift up to falsehood enemies your.
When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.
21 ¿ Not [those who] hate you O Yahweh - do I hate and rebels your do I loathe?
Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!
22 Completeness of hatred I hate them enemies they have become of me.
I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my enemies!
23 Examine me O God and know heart my test me and know disquieting thoughts my.
Examine me carefully, God, so you can be sure of my true feelings. Check me out so you can know what I really think.
24 And see if a way of an idol [is] in me and lead me in [the] way of antiquity.
Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.
