1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
5 I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
7 Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
10 Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
12 Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
14 I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
15 My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
17 How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
18 If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
20 For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
21 Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
22 My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal 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。
