ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 139
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, You have searched me, and know.
You have known my sitting down, And my rising up, You have attended to my thoughts from afar.
You have fanned my path and my lying down, And have been acquainted [with] all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, Behold, O YHWH, You have known it all!
You have besieged me behind and before, And You place Your hand on me.
Knowledge too wonderful for me, It has been set on high, I am not able for it.
To where do I go from Your Spirit? And to where do I flee from Your face?
8 ੮ ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਅਕਾਸ਼ ਉੱਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹ ਜਾਂਵਾਂ, ਤੂੰ ਉੱਥੇ ਹੈਂ, ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਪਤਾਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਿਸਤਰਾ ਵਿਛਾਵਾਂ, ਵੇਖ, ਤੂੰ ਉੱਥੇ ਹੈਂ! (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend the heavens—You [are] there, And spread out a bed in Sheol, behold, You! (Sheol h7585)
I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
Also there Your hand leads me, And Your right hand holds me.
And I say, “Surely darkness bruises me,” Then night [is] light to me.
12 ੧੨ ਫੇਰ ਵੀ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਤੈਥੋਂ ਨਾ ਛਿਪਾਵੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਰਾਤ-ਦਿਨ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਚਮਕੇਗੀ, ਸੋ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਤੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਇੱਕੋ ਜਿਹੇ ਹਨ!।
Also darkness does not hide from You, And night shines as day, As [is] darkness so [is] light.
For You have possessed my reins, You cover me in my mother’s belly.
14 ੧੪ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ, ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਭਿਆਨਕ ਰੀਤੀ ਤੇ ਅਚਰਜ਼ ਹਾਂ, ਤੇਰੇ ਕੰਮ ਅਚਰਜ਼ ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਖੂਬ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹਾਂ!
I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
15 ੧੫ ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਹੱਡੀਆਂ ਤੈਥੋਂ ਲੁੱਕੀਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਨ, ਜਦ ਮੈਂ ਗੁਪਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ, ਅਤੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਿਆਂ ਹੇਠਲਿਆਂ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰਾ ਰਸੀਦਾ ਕੱਢੀਦਾ ਸੀ।
My substance was not hid from You, When I was made in secret, Curiously worked in the lower part of earth.
16 ੧੬ ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਬੇਡੌਲ ਮਲਬੇ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਿਆ, ਅਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਪੋਥੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਭ ਲਿਖੇ ਗਏ, ਦਿਨ ਮਿਥੇ ਗਏ, ਜਦ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਇੱਕ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ।
Your eyes saw my unformed substance, And all of them are written on Your scroll, The days they were formed—And not one among them.
And how precious Your thoughts have been to me, O God, how great has been their sum!
18 ੧੮ ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਗਿਣਾ, ਓਹ ਰੇਤ ਦੇ ਦਾਣਿਆਂ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਵੀ ਵੱਧ ਹਨ, ਜਦ ਮੈਂ ਜਾਗ ਉੱਠਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
I recount them! They are more than the sand, I have awoken, and I am still with You.
Do You slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
Who exchange You for wickedness, Your enemies [are] lifted up to vanity.
Do I not hate, YHWH, those hating You? And grieve myself with Your withstanders?
I have hated them [with] perfect hatred, They have become enemies to me.
Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a perpetual way!
