Psalms 139

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.

1 يَا رَبُّ قَدْ فَحَصْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.

2 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ قُعُودِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

3 You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.

3 أَنْتَ تَقَصَّيْتَ مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْقَدِي، وَتَعْرِفُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

4 عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَفَوَّهَ بِها لِسَانِي.

5 You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.

5 لَقَدْ طَوَّقْتَنِي (بِعِلْمِكَ) مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ أَمَامٍ وَبَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ فَوْقِي.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

6 مَا أَعْجَبَ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ الْفَائِقَ، إِنَّهُ أَسْمَى مِنْ أَنْ أُدْرِكَهُ.

7 Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?

7 أَيْنَ الْمَهْرَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ؟

8 If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

8 إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ جَعَلْتُ فِرَاشِي فِي عَالَمِ الأَمْوَاتِ فَهُنَاكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,

9 إِنِ اسْتَعَرْتُ أَجْنِحَةَ الْفَجْرِ وَطِرْتُ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقْصَى أَطْرَافِ الْبَحْرِ

10 even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً يَدُكَ تَهْدِينِي وَيُمْنَاكَ تُمْسِكُنِي.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

11 إِنْ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: «رُبَّمَا الظُّلْمَةُ تَحْجُبُنِي وَالضَّوْءُ حَوْلِي يَصِيرُ لَيْلاً»،

12 even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

12 فَحَتَّى الظُّلْمَةُ لَا تُخْفِي عَنْكَ شَيْئاً، وَاللَّيْلُ كَالنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ، فَسِيَّانَ عِنْدَكَ الظَّلامُ وَالضَّوْءُ.

13 For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

13 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ قَدْ كَوَّنْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي دَاخِلَ بَطْنِ أُمِّي.

14 I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

14 أَحْمَدُكَ لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَنِي بِإِعْجَازِكَ الْمُدْهِشِ. مَا أَعْجَبَ أَعْمَالَكَ وَنَفْسِي تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ يَقِيناً.

15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

15 لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ كِيَانِي عِنْدَمَا كُوِّنْتُ فِي السِّرِّ، وَجُبِلْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

16 رَأَتْنِي عَيْنَاكَ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ جَنِيناً؛ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تُخْلَقَ أَعْضَائِي كُتِبَتْ فِي سِفْرِكَ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرْتَهَا.

17 How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

17 مَا أَثْمَنَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا اللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَعْظَمَ جُمْلَتَهَا!

18 If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

18 إِنْ أَحْصَيْتُهَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ عَدَداً. عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ أَجِدُنِي مَازِلْتُ مَعَكَ.

19 O God, that You would slay the wicked—away from me, you bloodthirsty men—

19 لَيْتَكَ يَا اللهُ تَقْتُلُ الأَشْرَارَ، فَيَبْتَعِدَ عَنِّي سَافِكُو الدِّمَاءِ.

20 who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.

20 فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْكَ بِالْمَكْرِ وَالْكَذِبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?

21 يَا رَبُّ أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ، وَأَكْرَهُ الثَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْكَ؟

22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies.

22 بُغْضاً تَامّاً أُبْغِضُهُمْ، وَأَحْسِبُهُمْ أَعْدَاءَ لِي.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.

23 تَفَحَّصْنِي يَا اللهُ وَاعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. امْتَحِنِّي وَاعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.

24 وَانْظُرْ إنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقُ سُوءٍ، وَاهْدِنِي الطَّرِيقَ الأَبَدِيَّ.
