Salmos 139

1 Oh Señor, tú me has escudriñado y conocido.2 Tú conoces mi sentarme y mi levantarme; desde lejos comprendes mis pensamientos.3 Tú escudriñas mi senda y mi descanso, y conoces bien todos mis caminos.4 Aun antes de que haya palabra en mi boca, he aquí, oh Señor, tú ya la sabes toda.5 Por detrás y por delante me has cercado, y tu mano pusiste sobre mí.

6  Tal conocimiento es demasiado maravilloso para mí; es muy elevado, no lo puedo alcanzar.
7 ¿Adónde me iré de tu Espíritu, o adónde huiré de tu presencia?8 Si subo a los cielos, he aquí, allí estás tú; si en el Seol preparo mi lecho, allí estás tú.9  Si tomo las alas del alba, y si habito en lo más remoto del mar,10 aun allí me guiará tu mano, y me asirá tu diestra.11 Si digo: Ciertamente las tinieblas me envolverán, y la luz en torno mío será noche;

12 ni aun las tinieblas son oscuras para ti, y la noche brilla como el día. Las tinieblas y la luz son iguales para ti.
13 Porque tú formaste mis entrañas; me hiciste en el seno de mi madre.14 Te alabaré, porque asombrosa y maravillosamente he sido hecho; maravillosas son tus obras, y mi alma lo sabe muy bien.15 No estaba oculto de ti mi cuerpo, cuando en secreto fui formado, y entretejido en las profundidades de la tierra.

16 Tus ojos vieron mi embrión, y en tu libro se escribieron todos los días que me fueron dados, cuando no existía ni uno solo de ellos.
17 ¡Cuán preciosos también son para mí, oh Dios, tus pensamientos! ¡Cuán inmensa es la suma de ellos!18 Si los contara, serían más que la arena; al despertar aún estoy contigo.19 ¡Oh Dios, si tú hicieras morir al impío! Por tanto, apartaos de mí, hombres sanguinarios.20 Porque hablan contra ti perversamente, y tus enemigos toman tu nombre en vano.21 ¿No odio a los que te aborrecen, Señor? ¿Y no me repugnan los que se levantan contra ti?

22 Los aborrezco con el más profundo odio; se han convertido en mis enemigos.
23 Escudríñame, oh Dios, y conoce mi corazón; pruébame y conoce mis inquietudes.24 Y ve si hay en mí camino malo, y guíame en el camino eterno.

Psalm 139

For the music director, a psalm of David.

1 O Lord, you examine me and know.

2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;
even from far away you understand my motives.

3 You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest;
you are aware of everything I do.

4 Certainly my tongue does not frame a word
without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it.

5 You squeeze me in from behind and in front;
you place your hand on me.

6 Your knowledge is beyond my comprehension;
it is so far beyond me, I am unable to fathom it.

7 Where can I go to escape your spirit?
Where can I flee to escape your presence?

8 If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there.
If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.

9 If I were to fly away on the wings of the dawn,
and settle down on the other side of the sea,

10 even there your hand would guide me,
your right hand would grab hold of me.

11 If I were to say, “Certainly the darkness will cover me,
and the light will turn to night all around me,”

12 even the darkness is not too dark for you to see,
and the night is as bright as day;
darkness and light are the same to you.

13 Certainly you made my mind and heart;
you wove me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing.
You knew me thoroughly;

15 my bones were not hidden from you,
when I was made in secret
and sewed together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb.
All the days ordained for me
were recorded in your scroll
before one of them came into existence.

17 How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God!
How vast is their sum total!

18 If I tried to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
Even if I finished counting them,
I would still have to contend with you.

19 If only you would kill the wicked, O God!
Get away from me, you violent men!

20 They rebel against you and act deceitfully;
your enemies lie.

21 O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you,
and despise those who oppose you?

22 I absolutely hate them,
they have become my enemies!

23 Examine me, and probe my thoughts!
Test me, and know my concerns!

24 See if there is any idolatrous tendency in me,
and lead me in the reliable ancient path!
