WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.
2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.
5 I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
5 You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
6 This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.
7 Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
7 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
9 If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
10 even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”
12 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.
12 even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
13 For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 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.
14 I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
15 My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
15 My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 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.
16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.
17 How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!
18 If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
20 For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
21 Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
22 My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
22 I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
23 Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
24 See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

Lo que dijeron los Padres

Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.

Cómo se eligieron

«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).

  1. Comentario Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXXVIII)

    The title of this Psalm is brief and simple, and need not detain us; since we know whose resemblance David wore, and since in him we recognise ourselves also, for we too are members of that Body. The whole title is, "To David himself." Let us see then, what is to David himself.

  2. Cita 139:7–10 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters XXVI–XXXIII)

    If I ascend into heaven, Thou art there; if I go away even to the uttermost parts of the earth, there is Thy right hand; if I make my bed in the abyss, there is Thy Spirit." Whither, then, shall any one go, or where shall he escape from Him who comprehends all things?

  3. Cita 139:7 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book V)

    For whither fled they when they fled from Thy presence? Or where dost Thou not find them?

  4. Cita 139:8 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VIII)

    … have dared to circumscribe God's providence by the clouds and the heaven, and to alienate from God the things on earth; having forgotten the Psalm which says, If I go up into heaven, Thou art there, if I go down into hell, Thou art present.

  5. Cita 139:14 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily IX)

    Yet the beholding of heaven and earth does not make us know God better than the attentive study of our being does; I am, says the Prophet, fearfully and wonderfully made; that is to say, in observing myself I have known Thy infinite wisdom.
