Dievs visuzinātājs un visu valdnieks
1 Dziedātāju vadonim. Dāvida psalms. Kungs, Tu izproti mani visos sīkumos un mani pazīsti. 2 Tu zini - vai es sēdu vai ceļos - Tev ir skaidras manas domas jau no tālienes. 3 Vai es eju, vai es guļu, Tu esi ap mani, un Tev ir zināmi visi mani ceļi, 4 jo nav vārda uz manas mēles, kas Tev, Kungs, nebūtu zināms. 5 Tu esi ap mani no visām pusēm, Tu turi Savu roku pār mani. 6 Šī atziņa man ir pārāk brīnišķa un pārāk augsta, es nevaru to saprast. 7 Kurp lai es aizeju no Tava Gara, un kurp lai es bēgu no Tava vaiga? 8 Ja es kāptu debesīs, Tu tur esi, ja es nokāptu ellē, Tu esi arī tur. 9 Ja man būtu rītausmas spārni un es nolaistos jūras malā, 10 tad arī tur mani vadītu Tava roka un Tava labā roka mani turētu. 11 Ja es teiktu: galīga tumsa lai mani apklāj, un par nakti lai kļūst ap mani gaisma,- 12 tad arī tumsība Tev nebūtu tumša, un nakts tev spīdētu kā diena, tumsība Tev būtu kā gaisma. 13 Jo Tu radīji manas īkstis, Tu mani veidoji un piešķīri man ķermeni manas mātes miesās. 14 Es Tev pateicos, ka es esmu tik brīnišķi radīts, brīnišķi ir Tavi darbi, mana dvēsele to labi zina. 15 Manas būtnes veidojums Tev nebija apslēpts, kad es slepenībā tapu radīts, zemes dziļumos veidots. 16 Tavas acis mani redzēja kā bezmiesas iedīgli, un Tavā grāmatā bija rakstītas visas manas dienas, jau noteiktas, kad to vēl nebija it nevienas. 17 Cik dārgas man ir Tavas domas, ak, Dievs, un cik liels ir to daudzums! 18 Ja tās gribētu saskaitīt, tad to būtu vairāk nekā smiltis. Kad es uzmostos, es esmu vēl arvienu pie Tevis. 19 Kaut Tu bezdievjus nokautu, ak, Dievs! Kaut asinskārie atstātos no manis! 20 Ar ļaunprātīgu viltu viņi runā par Tevi un kā Tavi ienaidnieki nelietīgi valkā Tavu Vārdu. 21 Vai lai es neienīstu tos, kas Tevi, Kungs, ienīst, un nenovēršos ar riebumu no tiem, kas pret Tevi ceļas? 22 Nīstin es viņus ienīstu, līdz galam viņi ir mani ienaidnieki. 23 Pārbaudi mani, ak, Dievs, un izzini manu sirdi; izmeklē mani un izdibini skaidri manas domas, 24 un lūko, vai es neesmu uz ļauna ceļa, tad vadi mani pa mūžības ceļu!
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me .
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but , lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee .
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine 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.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
