ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 139
Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.
When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
(Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]
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 went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)
If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,
you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
12 ੧੨ ਫੇਰ ਵੀ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਤੈਥੋਂ ਨਾ ਛਿਪਾਵੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਰਾਤ-ਦਿਨ ਵਾਂਗੂੰ ਚਮਕੇਗੀ, ਸੋ ਅਨ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਤੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਇੱਕੋ ਜਿਹੇ ਹਨ!।
but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).
You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
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 praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very 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।
When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
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।
You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!
God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.
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।
If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].
God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.
They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
