1O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
1大衛的詩，交給詩班長。耶和華啊！你鑒察了我，你認識我。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
2我坐下，我起來，你都知道；你在遠處就明白我的意念。
3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
3我行路，我躺臥，你都細察；我的一切行為，你都熟悉。
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
4耶和華啊！我的舌頭還沒有發言，你已經完全知道了。
5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
5你在我前後圍繞著我，你的手按在我身上。
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
6這樣的知識奇妙，是我不能理解的；高超，是我不能達到的。
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
7我到哪裡去躲避你的靈？我往哪裡去逃避你的面呢？
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
8如果我升到天上，你在那裡；如果我在陰間下榻，你也在那裡。
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9如果我展開清晨的翅膀，飛到海的極處居住，
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
10就是在那裡，你的手仍必引導我，你的右手也必扶持我。
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
11如果我說：“願黑暗遮蓋我，願我周圍的亮光變成黑夜。”
12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
12但對你來說，黑暗也不算是黑暗，黑夜必如同白晝一樣發亮，黑暗和光明，在你看來都是一樣的。
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
13我的臟腑是你所造的，在我母腹中你塑造了我。
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
14我要稱謝你，因為我的受造奇妙可畏；你的作為奇妙，這是我深深知道的。
15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
15我在隱密處被造，在地的深處被塑造，那時，我的形體不能向你隱藏。
16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
16我未成形的身體，你的眼睛早已看見；為我所定的日子，我還未度過一日，都完全記在你的冊上了。
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
17 神啊！你的意念對我多麼珍貴（“珍貴”或譯：“深奧”），數目何等眾多。
18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
18如果我數點，它們比海沙更多；我睡醒的時候，仍然與你同在。
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
19 神啊！甚願你殺戮惡人；你們流人血的啊，離開我去吧！
20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
20他們惡意說話頂撞你，你的仇敵妄稱你的名。
21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
21耶和華啊！恨惡你的，我怎能不恨惡他們呢？起來攻擊你的，我怎能不厭惡他們呢？
22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
22我極度恨惡他們，把他們視為我的仇敵。
23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
23 神啊！求你鑒察我，知道我的心思；試驗我，知道我的意念。
24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
24看看我裡面有甚麼惡行沒有，引導我走永恆的道路。
