תְהִלִּים 139
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמֹ֑ור יְהוָ֥ה חֲ֝קַרְתַּ֗נִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃ | 1 |
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
| אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּ֣י וְקוּמִ֑י בַּ֥נְתָּה לְ֝רֵעִ֗י מֵרָחֹֽוק׃ | 2 |
You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.
| אָרְחִ֣י וְרִבְעִ֣י זֵרִ֑יתָ וְֽכָל־דְּרָכַ֥י הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃ | 3 |
You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.
| כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין מִ֭לָּה בִּלְשֹׁונִ֑י הֵ֥ן יְ֝הוָ֗ה יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃ | 4 |
Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.
| אָחֹ֣ור וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה׃ | 5 |
You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.
| פִּלְאִיָּה (פְּלִ֣יאָֽה) דַ֣עַת מִמֶּ֑נִּי נִ֝שְׂגְּבָ֗ה לֹא־א֥וּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃ | 6 |
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
| אָ֭נָ֥ה אֵלֵ֣ךְ מֵרוּחֶ֑ךָ וְ֝אָ֗נָה מִפָּנֶ֥יךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃ | 7 |
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?
| אִם־אֶסַּ֣ק שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑תָּה וְאַצִּ֖יעָה שְּׁאֹ֣ול הִנֶּֽךָּ׃ (Sheol h7585) | 8 |
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. (Sheol h7585)
| אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי־שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם׃ | 9 |
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,
| גַּם־שָׁ֭ם יָדְךָ֣ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ | 10 |
even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.
| וָ֭אֹמַר אַךְ־חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה אֹ֣ור בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃ | 11 |
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—
| גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא־יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיֹּ֣ום יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאֹורָֽה׃ | 12 |
even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
| כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ כִלְיֹתָ֑י תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗נִי בְּבֶ֣טֶן אִמִּֽי׃ | 13 |
For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
| אֹֽודְךָ֗ עַ֤ל כִּ֥י נֹורָאֹ֗ות נִ֫פְלֵ֥יתִי נִפְלָאִ֥ים מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יֹדַ֥עַת מְאֹֽד׃ | 14 |
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
| לֹא־נִכְחַ֥ד עָצְמִ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂ֥יתִי בַסֵּ֑תֶר רֻ֝קַּ֗מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיֹּ֥ות אָֽרֶץ׃ | 15 |
My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
| גָּלְמִ֤י ׀ רָ֘א֤וּ עֵינֶ֗יךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ֮ כֻּלָּ֪ם יִכָּ֫תֵ֥בוּ יָמִ֥ים יֻצָּ֑רוּ וְלֹא (וְלֹ֖ו) אֶחָ֣ד בָּהֶֽם׃ | 16 |
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
| וְלִ֗י מַה־יָּקְר֣וּ רֵעֶ֣יךָ אֵ֑ל מֶ֥ה עָ֝צְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ | 17 |
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!
| אֶ֭סְפְּרֵם מֵחֹ֣ול יִרְבּ֑וּן הֱ֝קִיצֹ֗תִי וְעֹודִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 18 |
If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.
| אִם־תִּקְטֹ֖ל אֱלֹ֥והַּ ׀ רָשָׁ֑ע וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים ס֣וּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃ | 19 |
O God, that You would slay the wicked— away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹ֭אמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּ֑ה נָשֻׂ֖א לַשָּׁ֣וְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃ | 20 |
who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
| הֲלֹֽוא־מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקֹומְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקֹוטָֽט׃ | 21 |
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?
| תַּכְלִ֣ית שִׂנְאָ֣ה שְׂנֵאתִ֑ים לְ֝אֹויְבִ֗ים הָ֣יוּ לִֽי׃ | 22 |
I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies.
| חָקְרֵ֣נִי אֵ֭ל וְדַ֣ע לְבָבִ֑י בְּ֝חָנֵ֗נִי וְדַ֣ע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃ | 23 |
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.
| וּרְאֵ֗ה אִם־דֶּֽרֶךְ־עֹ֥צֶב בִּ֑י וּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עֹולָֽם׃ | 24 |
See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.
