Mazmur 139
1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya TUHAN, Engkau menyelami aku dan mengenal aku.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] LORD, you have searched me, and you know me.
2 Engkau tahu segala perbuatanku; dari jauh Engkau mengerti pikiranku.
You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 Engkau melihat aku, baik aku bekerja atau beristirahat, Engkau tahu segala yang kuperbuat.
You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Bahkan sebelum aku berbicara, Engkau tahu apa yang hendak kukatakan.
For there is not a word on my tongue, but, look, LORD, you know it altogether.
5 Engkau mengelilingi aku dari segala penjuru, dan Kaulindungi aku dengan kuasa-Mu.
You encircle me behind and in front, and you place your hand upon me.
6 Terlalu dalam bagiku pengetahuan-Mu itu, tidak terjangkau oleh pikiranku.
This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.
7 Ke mana aku dapat pergi agar luput dari kuasa-Mu? Ke mana aku dapat lari menjauh dari hadapan-Mu?
Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
8 Jika aku naik ke langit, Engkau ada di sana, jika aku tidur di alam maut, di situ pun Engkau ada. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, look, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Jika aku terbang lewat ufuk timur atau berdiam di ujung barat yang paling jauh,
If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 di sana pun Engkau menolong aku; di sana juga tangan-Mu membimbing aku.
Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
11 Jika aku minta supaya gelap menyelubungi aku, dan terang di sekelilingku menjadi malam,
If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night;"
12 maka kegelapan itu pun tidak gelap bagi-Mu; malam itu terang seperti siang, dan gelap itu seperti terang.
even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
13 Engkau menciptakan setiap bagian badanku, dan membentuk aku dalam rahim ibuku.
For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 Aku memuji Engkau sebab aku sangat luar biasa! Segala perbuatan-Mu ajaib dan mengagumkan, aku benar-benar menyadarinya.
I will give thanks to you, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and my soul knows that very well.
15 Waktu tulang-tulangku dijadikan, dengan cermat dirangkaikan dalam rahim ibuku, sedang aku tumbuh di sana secara rahasia, aku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Engkau melihat aku waktu aku masih dalam kandungan; semuanya tercatat di dalam buku-Mu; hari-harinya sudah ditentukan sebelum satu pun mulai.
Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.
17 Betapa sulitnya pikiran-Mu bagiku, ya Allah, dan betapa banyak jumlahnya!
How precious to me are your thoughts, God. How vast is the sum of them.
18 Jika kuhitung, lebih banyak dari pasir; bila aku bangun, masih juga kupikirkan Engkau.
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
19 Kiranya orang jahat Kautumpas, ya Allah, jauhkanlah para penumpah darah daripadaku!
If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men.
20 Mereka mengatakan yang jahat tentang Engkau, dan bersumpah palsu demi kota-kota-Mu.
For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Ya TUHAN, kubenci orang yang membenci Engkau, hatiku kesal terhadap orang yang melawan Engkau!
LORD, do I not hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
22 Mereka sangat kubenci, dan kuanggap sebagai musuh.
I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
23 Selidikilah aku ya Allah, selamilah hatiku, ujilah aku dan ketahuilah pikiranku.
Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
24 Lihatlah entah ada kejahatan dalam diriku, dan bimbinglah aku di jalan yang kekal.
See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
