You Know me than I

TUHAN, Engkau menyelidiki dan mengenal aku;

Engkau mengetahui, kalau aku duduk atau berdiri, Engkau mengerti pikiranku dari jauh.

Engkau memeriksa aku, kalau aku berjalan dan berbaring, segala jalanku Kau maklumi.

Sebab sebelum lidahku mengeluarkan perkataan, sesungguhnya, semuanya telah Kau ketahui, ya TUHAN.

Dari belakang dan dari depan Engkau mengurung aku, dan Engkau menaruh tangan-Mu ke atasku.

Terlalu ajaib bagiku pengetahuan itu, terlalu tinggi, tidak sanggup aku mencapainya.

Ke mana aku dapat pergi menjauhi roh-Mu, ke mana aku dapat lari dari hadapan-Mu?

Jika aku mendaki ke langit, Engkau di sana; jika aku menaruh tempat tidurku di dunia orang mati, di situpun Engkau.

Jika aku terbang dengan sayap fajar, dan membuat kediaman di ujung laut

juga di sana tangan-Mu akan menuntun aku, dan tangan kanan-Mu memegang aku.

Jika aku berkata: "Biarlah kegelapan saja melingkupi aku, dan terang sekelilingku menjadi malam,"

maka kegelapanpun tidak menggelapkan bagi-Mu, dan malam menjadi terang seperti siang; kegelapan sama seperti terang.

Sebab Engkaulah yang membentuk buah pinggangku, menenun aku dalam kandungan ibuku

Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu oleh karena kejadianku dahsyat dan ajaib; ajaib apa yang Kaubuat, dan jiwaku benar-benar menyadarinya.

Tulang-tulangku tidak terlindung bagi-Mu, ketika aku dijadikan di tempat yang tersembunyi, dan aku direkam di bagian-bagian bumi yang paling bawah

mata-Mu melihat selagi aku bakal anak, dan dalam kitab-Mu semuanya tertulis hari-hari yang akan dibentuk, sebelum ada satupun dari padanya.

Dan bagiku, betapa sulitnya pikiran-Mu, ya Allah! Betapa besar jumlahnya!

Jika aku mau menghitungnya, itu lebih banyak dari pada pasir. Apabila aku berhenti, masih saja aku bersama-sama Engkau.

(Mazmur 139 :1-18)

O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.

You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.

You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.

For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.

I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.

Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.

Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?

If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.

If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;

Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.

If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;

Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.

My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother’s body.

I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.

(Psalm 139 :1-18)
