Psalm 139
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- For the conductor. Of David, a song. O Lord, You have searched me out and You know.
- You know my sitting and my rising; You understand how to attach me from afar.
- My going about and my lying down You encompassed, and You are accustomed to all my ways.
- For there is no word on my tongue; behold, O Lord, You know it all.
- From the rear and the front You encompassed me, and You placed Your pressure upon me.
- Knowledge is hidden from me; it is hard, I cannot attain it.
- Where shall I go from Your spirit, and where shall I flee from Your presence?
- If I ascend to the heavens, there You are, and if I make my bed in the grave, behold, You are there.
- [If] I take up the wings of dawn, [if] I dwell at the end of the west,
- There too, Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will grasp me.
- I said, « Darkness will darken me, and the night will be as light about me. »
- Even darkness will not obscure [anything] from You, and the night will light up like day; as darkness so is the light.
- For You created my reins, You covered me in my mother’s womb.
- I shall thank You for in an awesome, wondrous way I was fashioned; Your works are wondrous, and my soul knows it very well.
- My essence was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, I was formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
- Your eyes saw my unformed body, and on Your book they were all written; days have been formed and one of them is His.
- And to me, how dear are Your friends, O Lord! How great is their sum!
- I shall count them; they are more numerous than sand; I have come to the end, and I am still with You.
- If only You would slay the wicked, O God, and men of blood, « Turn away from me. »
- Who mention You with wicked thought; Your enemies took it up in vain.
- Did I not hate Your enemies, O Lord? With those who rise up against You, I quarrel.
- I hate them with utmost hatred; they have become my enemies.
- Search me out, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts.
- And see whether there is any vexatious way about me, and lead me in the way of the world.
