The Psalms
capítulo 139
verso 1
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.
verso 2
You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
verso 3
You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
verso 4
For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.
verso 5
You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
verso 6
This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.
verso 7
Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
verso 8
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
verso 9
If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,
verso 10
even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
verso 11
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”
verso 12
even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
verso 13
For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
verso 14
I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
verso 15
My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
verso 16
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.
verso 17
How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!
verso 18
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
verso 19
If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
verso 20
For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
verso 21
Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
verso 22
I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
verso 23
Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
verso 24
See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
