Tehillim 139 - Chapter 139 - Psalm 139

Lamnatsêach ledavid mizmor, Adonai chacartáni vateda
Ata iadáta shivti vecumi, bánta lereí merachoc
Orchi veriv’í zeríta, vechol derachai hiscánta
Ki en milá bilshoni, hen Adonai iadáta chula
Achor vakédem tsartáni, vatáshet alai capêcha
Peliá dáat mimêni, nisgueva lo uchal la
Ana elech meruchêcha, veána mipanêcha evrach
Im essac shamáyim sham áta, veatsía sheól hinêca
Essa chanfê sháchar, eshkená beacharit iam
Gam sham iadechá tanchêni, vetochazêni ieminêcha
Vaomar ach chóshech ieshufêni, velaila or baadêni
Gam chóshech lo iach’shich mimêca, velaila caiom iair cachashechá caora
Ki ata caníta chiliotai, tessukêni bevéten imi
Odechá al ki noraót niflêti, niflaim maassêcha venafshi iodáat meod
Lo nich’chad atsmi mimêca, asher ussêti vasséter rucámti betachtiót árets
Galmi raú enêcha veal sifrechá culam yicatêvu, iamim iutsáru velo echad bahem
Veli ma iakeru reêcha El, me atsemu rashehem
Esperem mechol yirbun, hekitsôti veodi imach
Im tictol Elôha rashá, veanshê damim súru mêni
Asher iomerúcha limzimá, nassu lashav arêcha
Halo messan’êcha Adonai esná, uvitcomemêcha etcotat
Tachlit sin’á senetim, leoievim háiu li
Chocrêni El veda levavi, bechonêni veda sar’apai
Ur’e im dérech otsev bi, unchêni bedérech olam

1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have searched me, and known me.
2. You know when I sit down and when I rise up, you understand my thoughts from far away.
3. You have measured my going and my lying down, and you are acquainted with all my ways.
4. For before a word is in my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it all.
5. You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it.
7. Where shall I go from your spirit? Where shall I flee from your presence?
8. If I ascend up to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10. Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me, the light shall be night about me.
12. Even the darkness is not dark for you; but the night shines like the day; darkness is as light with you.
13. For you have formed my insides; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works! And my soul knows that right well.
15. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and finely wrought in the depths of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; and in your book all things were written; also the days in which they are to be fashioned, and for it too there was one of them.
17. How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is their sum.
18. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you.
19. Surely you will slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20. For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21. Do I not hate them, O Lord, those who hate you? And do I not strive with those who rise up against you?
22. I hate them with the utmost hatred; I count them my enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Test me, and know my thoughts.
24. And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
