Psalms 139
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, you have examined me from the inside out—you know everything about me!
Til Sangmesteren. Af David. En Salme. HERRE, du ransager mig og kender mig!
2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even when I'm a long way away.
Du ved, naar jeg sidder, og naar jeg staar op, du fatter min Tanke i Frastand,
3 You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.
du har Rede paa, hvor jeg gaar eller ligger, og alle mine Veje kender du grant.
4 Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.
Thi før Ordet er til paa min Tunge, se, da ved du det, HERRE, til fulde.
5 You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.
Bagfra og forfra omslutter du mig, du lægger din Haand paa mig.
6 This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!
At fatte det er mig for underfuldt, for højt, jeg evner det ikke!
7 Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your presence?
Hvorhen skal jeg gaa for din Aand, og hvor skal jeg fly for dit Aasyn?
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol h7585)
Farer jeg op til Himlen, da er du der, reder jeg Leje i Dødsriget, saa er du der; (Sheol h7585)
9 If I were to fly away on wings of the dawn to the east; if I were to live on the far western shore of the sea,
tager jeg Morgenrødens Vinger, fæster jeg Bo, hvor Havet ender,
10 even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would support me.
da vil din Haand ogsaa lede mig der, din højre holde mig fast!
11 If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,
Og siger jeg: »Mørket skal skjule mig, Lyset blive Nat omkring mig!«
12 Even darkness would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.
saa er Mørket ej mørkt for dig, og Natten er klar som Dagen, Mørket er som Lyset.
13 You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.
Thi du har dannet mine Nyrer, vævet mig i Moders Liv.
14 I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
Jeg vil takke dig, fordi jeg er underfuldt skabt; underfulde er dine Gerninger, det kender min Sjæl til fulde.
15 My growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together “in the depths of the earth.”
Mine Ben var ikke skjult for dig, da jeg blev skabt i Løndom, virket i Jordens Dyb;
16 You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
som Foster saa dine Øjne mig, i din Bog var de alle skrevet, Dagene var bestemt, før en eneste af dem var kommet.
17 God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!
Hvor kostelige er dine Tanker mig, Gud, hvor stor er dog deres Sum!
18 If I tried to count them, they would be more than every grain of sand. Yet when I awake I am still with you.
Tæller jeg dem, er de flere end Sandet, jeg vaagner — og end er jeg hos dig.
19 God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!
Vilde du dog dræbe de gudløse, Gud, maatte Blodets Mænd vige fra mig,
20 When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.
de, som taler om dig paa Skrømt og sværger falsk ved dit Navn.
21 Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!
Jeg hader jo dem, der hader dig, HERRE, og væmmes ved dem, der staar dig imod;
22 I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my enemies!
med fuldt Had hader jeg dem, de er ogsaa mine Fjender.
23 Examine me carefully, God, so you can be sure of my true feelings. Check me out so you can know what I really think.
Ransag mig, Gud, og kend mit Hjerte, prøv mig og kend mine Tanker!
24 Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.
Se, om jeg er paa Smertens Vej, og led mig paa Evigheds Vej!
