| Psalam 139
Jahve, proničeš me svega i poznaješ,
ti znaš kada sjednem i kada ustanem,
izdaleka ti već misli moje poznaješ.
Hodam li ili ležim, sve ti vidiš,
znani su ti svi moji putovi.
Riječ mi još nije na jezik došla,
a ti, Jahve, sve već znadeš.
S leđa i s lica ti me obuhvaćaš,
na mene si ruku svoju stavio.
Znanje to odveć mi je čudesno,
previsoko da bih ga dokučio.
Kamo da idem od duha tvojega
i kamo da od tvog lica pobjegnem?
Ako se na nebo popnem, ondje si,
ako u podzemlje legnem, i ondje si.
Uzmem li krila zorina
pa se naselim moru na kraj,
i ondje bi me ruka tvoja vodila,
desnica bi me tvoja držala.
Reknem li: »Nek’ me barem tmine zakriju
i nek’ me noć umjesto svjetla okruži!« –
ni tmina tebi neće biti tamna:
noć sjaji kao dan
i tama kao svjetlost.
Jer ti si moje stvorio bubrege,
satkao me u krilu majčinu.
Hvala ti što sam stvoren tako
čudesno,
što su djela tvoja predivna.
Dušu moju do dna si poznavao,
kosti moje ne bjehu ti sakrite
dok nastajah u tajnosti,
otkan u dubini
zemlje.
Oči tvoje već tada gledahu djela moja,
sve već bješe zapisano u knjizi tvojoj:
dani su mi određeni dok još ne bješe ni jednoga.
Kako su mi, Bože, naumi tvoji nedokučivi,
kako li je neprocjenjiv zbroj njihov.
Da ih brojim? Više ih je nego pijeska!
Dođem li im do kraja, ti mi preostaješ!
De, istrijebi, Bože, zlotvora,
krvoloci nek’ odstupe od mene!
Jer podmuklo se bune protiv tebe,
uzalud se dižu tvoji dušmani.
Jahve, zar da ne mrzim tvoje mrzitelje?
Zar da mi se ne gade protivnici tvoji?
Mržnjom dubokom ja ih mrzim
i držim ih svojim neprijateljima.
Pronikni me svega, Bože, srce mi upoznaj,
iskušaj me i upoznaj misli moje:
pogledaj, ne idem li putem pogubnim
i povedi me putem vječnim!

Psalm 139
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand
when I awake, I am still with you.
If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
