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!

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Engkau menyelami aku dan mengenal aku.

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.

Engkau tahu segala perbuatanku; dari jauh Engkau mengerti pikiranku.

3 You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.

Engkau melihat aku, baik aku bekerja atau beristirahat, Engkau tahu segala yang kuperbuat.

4 Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.

Bahkan sebelum aku berbicara, Engkau tahu apa yang hendak kukatakan.

5 You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.

Engkau mengelilingi aku dari segala penjuru, dan Kaulindungi aku dengan kuasa-Mu.

6 This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!

Terlalu dalam bagiku pengetahuan-Mu itu, tidak terjangkau oleh pikiranku.

7 Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your presence?

Ke mana aku dapat pergi agar luput dari kuasa-Mu? Ke mana aku dapat lari menjauh dari hadapan-Mu?

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol h7585)

Jika aku naik ke langit, Engkau ada di sana, jika aku tidur di alam maut, di situ pun Engkau ada. (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,

Jika aku terbang lewat ufuk timur atau berdiam di ujung barat yang paling jauh,

10 even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would support me.

di sana pun Engkau menolong aku; di sana juga tangan-Mu membimbing aku.

11 If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,

Jika aku minta supaya gelap menyelubungi aku, dan terang di sekelilingku menjadi malam,

12 Even darkness would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.

maka kegelapan itu pun tidak gelap bagi-Mu; malam itu terang seperti siang, dan gelap itu seperti terang.

13 You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.

Engkau menciptakan setiap bagian badanku, dan membentuk aku dalam rahim ibuku.

14 I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!

Aku memuji Engkau sebab aku sangat luar biasa! Segala perbuatan-Mu ajaib dan mengagumkan, aku benar-benar menyadarinya.

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.”

Waktu tulang-tulangku dijadikan, dengan cermat dirangkaikan dalam rahim ibuku, sedang aku tumbuh di sana secara rahasia, aku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.

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.

Engkau melihat aku waktu aku masih dalam kandungan; semuanya tercatat di dalam buku-Mu; hari-harinya sudah ditentukan sebelum satu pun mulai.

17 God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!

Betapa sulitnya pikiran-Mu bagiku, ya Allah, dan betapa banyak jumlahnya!

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.

Jika kuhitung, lebih banyak dari pasir; bila aku bangun, masih juga kupikirkan Engkau.

19 God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!

Kiranya orang jahat Kautumpas, ya Allah, jauhkanlah para penumpah darah daripadaku!

20 When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.

Mereka mengatakan yang jahat tentang Engkau, dan bersumpah palsu demi kota-kota-Mu.

21 Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!

Ya TUHAN, kubenci orang yang membenci Engkau, hatiku kesal terhadap orang yang melawan Engkau!

22 I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my enemies!

Mereka sangat kubenci, dan kuanggap sebagai musuh.

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.

Selidikilah aku ya Allah, selamilah hatiku, ujilah aku dan ketahuilah pikiranku.

24 Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.

Lihatlah entah ada kejahatan dalam diriku, dan bimbinglah aku di jalan yang kekal.
