תהילים 139

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר יְהוָה חֲקַרְתַּנִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me].

2 אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּי וְקוּמִי בַּנְתָּה לְרֵעִי מֵרָחֽוֹק׃

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 אָרְחִי וְרִבְעִי זֵרִיתָ וְֽכָל־דְּרָכַי הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 כִּי אֵין מִלָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִי הֵן יְהוָה יָדַעְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5 אָחוֹר וָקֶדֶם צַרְתָּנִי וַתָּשֶׁת עָלַי כַּפֶּֽכָה׃

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6 פלאיה פְּלִיאָֽה דַעַת מִמֶּנִּי נִשְׂגְּבָה לֹא־אוּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃

[Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 אָנָה אֵלֵךְ מֵרוּחֶךָ וְאָנָה מִפָּנֶיךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃

Whither shall I from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 אִם־אֶסַּק שָׁמַיִם שָׁם אָתָּה וְאַצִּיעָה שְּׁאוֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃ (Sheol h7585)

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)

9 אֶשָּׂא כַנְפֵי־שָׁחַר אֶשְׁכְּנָה בְּאַחֲרִית יָֽם׃

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 גַּם־שָׁם יָדְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵנִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 וָאֹמַר אַךְ־חֹשֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵנִי וְלַיְלָה אוֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me shall be night;

12 גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ לֹֽא־יַחְשִׁיךְ מִמֶּךָ וְלַיְלָה כַּיּוֹם יָאִיר כַּחֲשֵׁיכָה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].

13 כִּֽי־אַתָּה קָנִיתָ כִלְיֹתָי תְּסֻכֵּנִי בְּבֶטֶן אִמִּֽי׃

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 אֽוֹדְךָ עַל כִּי נוֹרָאוֹת נִפְלֵיתִי נִפְלָאִים מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְנַפְשִׁי יֹדַעַת מְאֹֽד׃

I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 לֹא־נִכְחַד עָצְמִי מִמֶּךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂיתִי בַסֵּתֶר רֻקַּמְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּוֹת אָֽרֶץ׃

My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 גָּלְמִי ׀ רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וְעַֽל־סִפְרְךָ כֻּלָּם יִכָּתֵבוּ יָמִים יֻצָּרוּ ולא וְלוֹ אֶחָד בָּהֶֽם׃

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.

17 וְלִי מַה־יָּקְרוּ רֵעֶיךָ אֵל מֶה עָצְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 אֶסְפְּרֵם מֵחוֹל יִרְבּוּן הֱקִיצֹתִי וְעוֹדִי עִמָּֽךְ׃

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19 אִם־תִּקְטֹל אֱלוֹהַּ ׀ רָשָׁע וְאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים סוּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

20 אֲשֶׁר יֹאמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּה נָשֻׂא לַשָּׁוְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.

21 הֲלֽוֹא־מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ יְהוָה ׀ אֶשְׂנָא וּבִתְקוֹמְמֶיךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22 תַּכְלִית שִׂנְאָה שְׂנֵאתִים לְאוֹיְבִים הָיוּ לִֽי׃

I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 חָקְרֵנִי אֵל וְדַע לְבָבִי בְּחָנֵנִי וְדַע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts:

24 וּרְאֵה אִם־דֶּֽרֶךְ־עֹצֶב בִּי וּנְחֵנִי בְּדֶרֶךְ עוֹלָֽם׃

And see if there be any way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
