Chapter 138
Psal CPDV 138:1  Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me.
Psal CPDV 138:2  You have known my sitting down and my rising up again.
Psal CPDV 138:3  You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated.
Psal CPDV 138:4  And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue.
Psal CPDV 138:5  Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
Psal CPDV 138:6  Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
Psal CPDV 138:7  Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
Psal CPDV 138:8  If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near.
Psal CPDV 138:9  If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
Psal CPDV 138:10  even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
Psal CPDV 138:11  And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
Psal CPDV 138:12  But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
Psal CPDV 138:13  For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
Psal CPDV 138:14  I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
Psal CPDV 138:15  My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower parts of the earth.
Psal CPDV 138:16  Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
Psal CPDV 138:17  But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
Psal CPDV 138:18  I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
Psal CPDV 138:19  O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
Psal CPDV 138:20  For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
Psal CPDV 138:21  Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
Psal CPDV 138:22  I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
Psal CPDV 138:23  Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths.
Psal CPDV 138:24  And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.
