Psalms 139
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. O Lord, thou hast tried me and knowen me.
大衛的詩，交與伶長。 耶和華啊，你已經鑒察我，認識我。
2 Thou knowest my sitting and my rising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off.
我坐下，我起來，你都曉得； 你從遠處知道我的意念。
3 Thou compassest my pathes, and my lying downe, and art accustomed to all my wayes.
我行路，我躺臥，你都細察； 你也深知我一切所行的。
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but loe, thou knowest it wholy, O Lord.
耶和華啊，我舌頭上的話， 你沒有一句不知道的。
5 Thou holdest mee straite behinde and before, and layest thine hand vpon me.
你在我前後環繞我， 按手在我身上。
6 Thy knowledge is too wonderfull for mee: it is so high that I cannot attaine vnto it.
這樣的知識奇妙，是我不能測的， 至高，是我不能及的。
7 Whither shall I goe from thy Spirite? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
我往哪裏去躲避你的靈？ 我往哪裏逃、躲避你的面？
我若升到天上，你在那裏； 我若在陰間下榻，你也在那裏。 (Sheol h7585)
9 Let mee take the winges of the morning, and dwell in the vttermost parts of the sea:
我若展開清晨的翅膀， 飛到海極居住，
10 Yet thither shall thine hand leade me, and thy right hand holde me.
就是在那裏，你的手必引導我； 你的右手也必扶持我。
11 If I say, Yet the darkenes shall hide me, euen the night shalbe light about me.
我若說：黑暗必定遮蔽我， 我周圍的亮光必成為黑夜；
12 Yea, the darkenes hideth not from thee: but the night shineth as the day: the darkenes and light are both alike.
黑暗也不能遮蔽我，使你不見， 黑夜卻如白晝發亮。 黑暗和光明，在你看都是一樣。
13 For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe.
我的肺腑是你所造的； 我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。
14 I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderously made: marueilous are thy workes, and my soule knoweth it well.
我要稱謝你，因我受造，奇妙可畏； 你的作為奇妙，這是我心深知道的。
15 My bones are not hid from thee, though I was made in a secret place, and facioned beneath in the earth.
我在暗中受造，在地的深處被聯絡； 那時，我的形體並不向你隱藏。
16 Thine eyes did see me, when I was without forme: for in thy booke were all things written, which in continuance were facioned, when there was none of them before.
我未成形的體質，你的眼早已看見了； 你所定的日子，我尚未度一日， 你都寫在你的冊上了。
17 Howe deare therefore are thy thoughtes vnto me, O God! how great is ye summe of them!
上帝啊，你的意念向我何等寶貴！ 其數何等眾多！
18 If I should count them, they are moe then the sand: when I wake, I am still with thee.
我若數點，比海沙更多； 我睡醒的時候，仍和你同在。
19 Oh that thou wouldest slay, O God, the wicked and bloody men, to whom I say, Depart ye from mee:
上帝啊，你必要殺戮惡人； 所以，你們好流人血的，離開我去吧！
20 Which speake wickedly of thee, and being thine enemies are lifted vp in vaine.
因為他們說惡言頂撞你； 你的仇敵也妄稱你的名。
21 Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and doe not I earnestly contend with those that rise vp against thee?
耶和華啊，恨惡你的，我豈不恨惡他們嗎？ 攻擊你的，我豈不憎嫌他們嗎？
22 I hate them with an vnfained hatred, as they were mine vtter enemies.
我切切地恨惡他們， 以他們為仇敵。
23 Try mee, O God, and knowe mine heart: prooue me and know my thoughtes,
上帝啊，求你鑒察我，知道我的心思， 試煉我，知道我的意念，
24 And consider if there be any way of wickednes in me, and leade me in the way for euer.
看在我裏面有甚麼惡行沒有， 引導我走永生的道路。
