For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1 Yahweh, you have searched me,

and you know me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up.

You perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down,

and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue,

but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

5 You hem me in behind and before.

You laid your hand on me.

6 This knowledge is beyond me.

It’s lofty.

I can’t attain it.

7 Where could I go from your Spirit?

Or where could I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

9 If I take the wings of the dawn,

and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 even there your hand will lead me,

and your right hand will hold me.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me.

The light around me will be night,"

12 even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,

but the night shines as the day.

The darkness is like light to you.

13 For you formed my inmost being.

You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I will give thanks to you,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Your works are wonderful.

My soul knows that very well.

15 My frame wasn’t hidden from you,

when I was made in secret,

woven together in the depths of the earth.

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.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!

How vast is their sum!

18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.

When I wake up, I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked.

Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 For they speak against you wickedly.

Your enemies take your name in vain.

21 Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you?

Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred.

They have become my enemies.

23 Search me, God, and know my heart.

Try me, and know my thoughts.

24 See if there is any wicked way in me,

and lead me in the everlasting way.

1 耶和华啊! 你鉴察了我, 你认识我。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 我坐下, 我起来, 你都知道; 你在远处就明白我的意念。

3 我行路, 我躺卧, 你都细察; 我的一切行为, 你都熟悉。

4 耶和华啊! 我的舌头还没有发言, 你已经完全知道了。

5 你在我前后围绕着我, 你的手按在我身上。

6 这样的知识奇妙, 是我不能理解的; 高超, 是我不能达到的。

7 我到哪里去躲避你的灵?我往哪里去逃避你的面呢?

8 如果我升到天上, 你在那里; 如果我在阴间下榻, 你也在那里。

9 如果我展开清晨的翅膀, 飞到海的极处居住,

10 就是在那里, 你的手仍必引导我, 你的右手也必扶持我。

11 如果我说: "愿黑暗遮盖我, 愿我周围的亮光变成黑夜。"

12 但对你来说, 黑暗也不算是黑暗, 黑夜必如同白昼一样发亮, 黑暗和光明, 在你看来都是一样的。

13 我的脏腑是你所造的, 在我母腹中你塑造了我。

14 我要称谢你, 因为我的受造奇妙可畏; 你的作为奇妙, 这是我深深知道的。

15 我在隐密处被造, 在地的深处被塑造, 那时, 我的形体不能向你隐藏。

16 我未成形的身体, 你的眼睛早已看见; 为我所定的日子, 我还未度过一日, 都完全记在你的册上了。

17 神啊! 你的意念对我多么珍贵("珍贵"或译: "深奥"), 数目何等众多。

18 如果我数点, 它们比海沙更多; 我睡醒的时候, 仍然与你同在。

19 神啊! 甚愿你杀戮恶人; 你们流人血的啊, 离开我去吧!

20 他们恶意说话顶撞你, 你的仇敌妄称你的名。

21 耶和华啊! 恨恶你的, 我怎能不恨恶他们呢?起来攻击你的, 我怎能不厌恶他们呢?

22 我极度恨恶他们, 把他们视为我的仇敌。

23 神啊! 求你鉴察我, 知道我的心思; 试验我, 知道我的意念。

24 看看我里面有什么恶行没有, 引导我走永恒的道路。
