< תהילים 139 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר יְהֹוָה חֲקַרְתַּנִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃ 1
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּי וְקוּמִי בַּנְתָּה לְרֵעִי מֵרָחֽוֹק׃ 2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
אׇרְחִי וְרִבְעִי זֵרִיתָ וְֽכׇל־דְּרָכַי הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃ 3
Thou measurest my going about and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
כִּי אֵין מִלָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִי הֵן יְהֹוָה יָדַעְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃ 4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
אָחוֹר וָקֶדֶם צַרְתָּנִי וַתָּשֶׁת עָלַי כַּפֶּֽכָה׃ 5
Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.
(פלאיה) [פְּלִיאָֽה] דַעַת מִמֶּנִּי נִשְׂגְּבָה לֹא־אוּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃ 6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too high, I cannot attain unto it.
אָנָֽה אֵלֵךְ מֵרוּחֶךָ וְאָנָה מִפָּנֶיךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃ 7
Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
אִם־אֶסַּק שָׁמַיִם שָׁם אָתָּה וְאַצִּיעָה שְּׁאוֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃ (Sheol h7585) 8
If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
אֶשָּׂא כַנְפֵי־שָׁחַר אֶשְׁכְּנָה בְּאַחֲרִית יָֽם׃ 9
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
גַּם־שָׁם יָדְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵנִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ 10
Even there would Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand would hold me.
וָאֹמַר אַךְ־חֹשֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵנִי וְלַיְלָה אוֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃ 11
And if I say: 'Surely the darkness shall envelop me, and the light about me shall be night';
גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ לֹא־יַחְשִׁיךְ מִמֶּךָּ וְלַיְלָה כַּיּוֹם יָאִיר כַּחֲשֵׁיכָה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃ 12
Even the darkness is not too dark for Thee, but the night shineth as the day; the darkness is even as the light.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה קָנִיתָ כִלְיֹתָי תְּסֻכֵּנִי בְּבֶטֶן אִמִּֽי׃ 13
For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.
אוֹדְךָ עַל כִּי נֽוֹרָאוֹת נִפְלֵיתִי נִפְלָאִים מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְנַפְשִׁי יֹדַעַת מְאֹֽד׃ 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.
לֹֽא־נִכְחַד עׇצְמִי מִמֶּךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂיתִי בַסֵּתֶר רֻקַּמְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּוֹת אָֽרֶץ׃ 15
My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
גׇּלְמִי ׀ רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ כֻּלָּם יִכָּתֵבוּ יָמִים יֻצָּרוּ (ולא) [וְלוֹ] אֶחָד בָּהֶֽם׃ 16
Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written — even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
וְלִי מַה־יָּקְרוּ רֵעֶיךָ אֵל מֶה עָצְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ 17
How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
אֶסְפְּרֵם מֵחוֹל יִרְבּוּן הֱקִיצֹתִי וְעוֹדִי עִמָּֽךְ׃ 18
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.
אִם־תִּקְטֹל אֱלוֹהַּ ׀ רָשָׁע וְאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים סוּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃ 19
If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God — depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;
אֲשֶׁר יֹמְרוּךָ לִמְזִמָּה נָשׂוּא לַשָּׁוְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃ 20
Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies —
הֲלֽוֹא־מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ יְהֹוָה ׀ אֶשְׂנָא וּבִתְקוֹמְמֶיךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃ 21
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?
תַּכְלִית שִׂנְאָה שְׂנֵאתִים לְאוֹיְבִים הָיוּ לִֽי׃ 22
I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.
חׇקְרֵנִי אֵל וְדַע לְבָבִי בְּחָנֵנִי וְדַע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃ 23
Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;
וּרְאֵה אִם־דֶּֽרֶךְ־עֹצֶב בִּי וּנְחֵנִי בְּדֶרֶךְ עוֹלָֽם׃ 24
And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.
