Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 139

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֹור יְהוָה חֲקַרְתַּנִי וַתֵּדָע	1 For the leader. A psalm of David. O LORD, you have probed me, you know me:
2 אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּי וְקוּמִי בַּנְתָּה לְרֵעִי מֵרָחֹוק	2 you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar.
3 אָרְחִי וְרִבְעִי זֵרִיתָ וְכָל־דְּרָכַי הִסְכַּנְתָּה	3 My travels and my rest you mark; with all my ways you are familiar.
4 כִּי אֵין מִלָּה בִּלְשֹׁונִי הֵן יְהוָה יָדַעְתָּ כֻלָּהּ	4 Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all.
5 אָחֹור וָקֶדֶם צַרְתָּנִי וַתָּשֶׁת עָלַי כַּפֶּכָה	5 Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.
6 [פִּלְאִיָּה כ] (פְּלִיאָה ק) דַעַת מִמֶּנִּי נִשְׂגְּבָה לֹא־אוּכַל לָהּ	6 Such knowledge is beyond me, far too lofty for me to reach.
7 אָנָה אֵלֵךְ מֵרוּחֶךָ וְאָנָה מִפָּנֶיךָ אֶבְרָח	7 Where can I hide from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee?
8 אִם־אֶסַּק מַיִם שָׁם אָתָּה וְאַצִּיעָה שְּׁאֹול הִנֶּךָּ	8 If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, you are there too.
9 אֶשָּׂא כַנְפֵי־שָׁחַר אֶשְׁכְּנָה בְּאַחֲרִית יָם	9 If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea,
10 גַּםשָׁ־ם יָדְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְתֹאחֲזֵנִי יְמִינֶךָ	10 Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast.
11 וָאֹמַר אַךְ־חֹשֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵנִי וְלַיְלָה אֹור בַּעֲדֵנִי	11 If I say, "Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light" --
12 גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ לֹא־יַחְשִׁיךְ מִמֶּךָ וְלַיְלָה כַּיֹּום יָאִיר כַּחֲשֵׁיכָה כָּאֹורָה	12 Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one.
13 כִּי־אַתָּה קָנִיתָ כִלְיֹתָי תְּסֻכֵּנִי בְּבֶטֶן אִמִּי	13 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb.
14 אֹודְךָ עַל כִּי נֹורָאֹות נִפְלֵיתִי נִפְלָאִים מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְנַפְשִׁי יֹדַעַת מְאֹד	14 I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew;
15 לֹא־נִכְחַד עָצְמִי מִמֶּךָּ אֲשֶׁר־עֻשֵּׂיתִי בַסֵּתֶר רֻקַּמְתִּי בְּתַחְתִּיֹּות אָרֶץ	15 my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth.
16 גָּלְמִי ׀ רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וְעַל־סִפְרְךָ כֻּלָּם יִכָּתֵבוּ יָמִים יֻצָּרוּ [וְלֹא כ] (וְלֹו ק) אֶחָד בָּהֶם	16 Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be.
17 וְלִי מַה־יָּקְרוּ רֵעֶיךָ אֵל מֶה עָצְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶם	17 How precious to me are your designs, O God; how vast the sum of them!
18 אֶסְפְּרֵם מֵחֹול יִרְבּוּן הֱקִיצֹתִי וְעֹודִי עִמָּךְ	18 Were I to count, they would outnumber the sands; to finish, I would need eternity.
19 אִם־תִּקְטֹל אֱלֹוהַּ ׀ רָשָׁע וְאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים סוּרוּ מֶנִּי	19 If only you would destroy the wicked, O God, and the bloodthirsty would depart from me!
20 אֲשֶׁר יֹאמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּה נָשֻׂא לַשָּׁוְא עָרֶיךָ	20 Deceitfully they invoke your name; your foes swear faithless oaths.
21 הֲלֹוא־מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ יְהוָה ׀ אֶשְׂנָא וּבִתְקֹומְמֶיךָ אֶתְקֹוטָט	21 Do I not hate, LORD, those who hate you? Those who rise against you, do I not loathe?
22 תַּכְלִית שִׂנְאָה שְׂנֵאתִים לְאֹויְבִים הָיוּ לִי	22 With fierce hatred I hate them, enemies I count as my own.
23 חָקְרֵנִי אֵל וְדַע לְבָבִי בְּחָנֵנִי וְדַע שַׂרְעַפָּי	23 Probe me, God, know my heart; try me, know my concerns.
24 וּרְאֵה אִם־דֶּרֶךְ־עֹצֶב בִּי וּנְחֵנִי בְּדֶרֶךְ עֹולָם	24 See if my way is crooked, then lead me in the ancient paths.
