< תהילים 139 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר יְהֹוָה חֲקַרְתַּנִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃ | 1 |
For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, you have proved me, and known me.
אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּי וְקוּמִי בַּנְתָּה לְרֵעִי מֵרָחֽוֹק׃ | 2 |
You know my down-sitting and mine up-rising: you understand my thoughts long before.
אׇרְחִי וְרִבְעִי זֵרִיתָ וְֽכׇל־דְּרָכַי הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃ | 3 |
You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.
כִּי אֵין מִלָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִי הֵן יְהֹוָה יָדַעְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃ | 4 |
For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, you have known all things,
אָחוֹר וָקֶדֶם צַרְתָּנִי וַתָּשֶׁת עָלַי כַּפֶּֽכָה׃ | 5 |
the last and the first: you have fashioned me, and laid your hand upon me.
(פלאיה) [פְּלִיאָֽה] דַעַת מִמֶּנִּי נִשְׂגְּבָה לֹא־אוּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃ | 6 |
The knowledge of you is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I can’t [attain] to it.
אָנָֽה אֵלֵךְ מֵרוּחֶךָ וְאָנָה מִפָּנֶיךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃ | 7 |
Whither shall I go from your Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
אִם־אֶסַּק שָׁמַיִם שָׁם אָתָּה וְאַצִּיעָה שְּׁאוֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃ (Sheol ) | 8 |
If I should go up to heaven, you are there: if I should go down to hell, you are present. (Sheol )
אֶשָּׂא כַנְפֵי־שָׁחַר אֶשְׁכְּנָה בְּאַחֲרִית יָֽם׃ | 9 |
If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],
גַּם־שָׁם יָדְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵנִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ | 10 |
for even there your hand would guide me, and your right hand would hold me.
וָאֹמַר אַךְ־חֹשֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵנִי וְלַיְלָה אוֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃ | 11 |
When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.
גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ לֹא־יַחְשִׁיךְ מִמֶּךָּ וְלַיְלָה כַּיּוֹם יָאִיר כַּחֲשֵׁיכָה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃ | 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].
כִּֽי־אַתָּה קָנִיתָ כִלְיֹתָי תְּסֻכֵּנִי בְּבֶטֶן אִמִּֽי׃ | 13 |
For you, O Lord, have possessed my reins; you have helped me from my mother's womb.
אוֹדְךָ עַל כִּי נֽוֹרָאוֹת נִפְלֵיתִי נִפְלָאִים מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְנַפְשִׁי יֹדַעַת מְאֹֽד׃ | 14 |
I will give you thanks; for you are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are your works; and my soul knows [it] well.
לֹֽא־נִכְחַד עׇצְמִי מִמֶּךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂיתִי בַסֵּתֶר רֻקַּמְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּוֹת אָֽרֶץ׃ | 15 |
My bones, which you made in secret were not hidden from you, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
גׇּלְמִי ׀ רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ כֻּלָּם יִכָּתֵבוּ יָמִים יֻצָּרוּ (ולא) [וְלוֹ] אֶחָד בָּהֶֽם׃ | 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 amongst them.
וְלִי מַה־יָּקְרוּ רֵעֶיךָ אֵל מֶה עָצְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ | 17 |
But your friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.
אֶסְפְּרֵם מֵחוֹל יִרְבּוּן הֱקִיצֹתִי וְעוֹדִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 18 |
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with you.
אִם־תִּקְטֹל אֱלוֹהַּ ׀ רָשָׁע וְאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים סוּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃ | 19 |
Oh that you would kill the wicked, O God; depart from me, you men of blood.
אֲשֶׁר יֹמְרוּךָ לִמְזִמָּה נָשׂוּא לַשָּׁוְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃ | 20 |
For you will say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take your cities in vain.
הֲלֽוֹא־מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ יְהֹוָה ׀ אֶשְׂנָא וּבִתְקוֹמְמֶיךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃ | 21 |
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate you? and wasted away because of your enemies?
תַּכְלִית שִׂנְאָה שְׂנֵאתִים לְאוֹיְבִים הָיוּ לִֽי׃ | 22 |
I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.
חׇקְרֵנִי אֵל וְדַע לְבָבִי בְּחָנֵנִי וְדַע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃ | 23 |
Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;
וּרְאֵה אִם־דֶּֽרֶךְ־עֹצֶב בִּי וּנְחֵנִי בְּדֶרֶךְ עוֹלָֽם׃ | 24 |
and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
