Psalms

大卫的诗，交与伶长。

1耶和华啊，你已经鉴察我，认识我。

2我坐下，我起来，你都晓得； 你从远处知道我的意念。

3我行路，我躺卧，你都细察； 你也深知我一切所行的。

4耶和华啊，我舌头上的话， 你没有一句不知道的。

5你在我前后环绕我， 按手在我身上。

6这样的知识奇妙，是我不能测的， 至高，是我不能及的。

7我往哪里去躲避你的灵？ 我往哪里逃、躲避你的面？

8我若升到天上，你在那里； 我若在阴间下榻，你也在那里。

9我若展开清晨的翅膀， 飞到海极居住，

10就是在那里，你的手必引导我； 你的右手也必扶持我。

11我若说：黑暗必定遮蔽我， 我周围的亮光必成为黑夜；

12黑暗也不能遮蔽我，使你不见， 黑夜却如白昼发亮。 黑暗和光明，在你看都是一样。

13我的肺腑是你所造的； 我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。

14我要称谢你，因我受造，奇妙可畏； 你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。

15我在暗中受造，在地的深处被联络； 那时，我的形体并不向你隐藏。

16我未成形的体质，你的眼早已看见了； 你所定的日子，我尚未度一日， 你都写在你的册上了。

17神啊，你的意念向我何等宝贵！ 其数何等众多！

18我若数点，比海沙更多； 我睡醒的时候，仍和你同在。

19神啊，你必要杀戮恶人； 所以，你们好流人血的，离开我去吧！

20因为他们说恶言顶撞你； 你的仇敌也妄称你的名。

21耶和华啊，恨恶你的，我岂不恨恶他们吗？ 攻击你的，我岂不憎嫌他们吗？

22我切切地恨恶他们， 以他们为仇敌。

23神啊，求你鉴察我，知道我的心思， 试炼我，知道我的意念，

24看在我里面有什么恶行没有， 引导我走永生的道路。

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
