大卫的诗、交与伶长。耶和华阿、你已经鉴察我、认识我. 我坐下、我起来、你都晓得.你从远处知道我的意念。 我行路、我躺卧、你都细察、你也深知我一切所行的。 耶和华阿、我舌头上的话、你没有一句不知道的. 你在我前后环绕我、按手在我身上。 这样的知识奇妙、是我不能测的.至高、是我不能及的。 我往那里去躲避你的灵.我往那里逃躲避你的面。 我若升到天上、你在那里.我若在阴间下榻、你也在那里。 我若展开清晨的翅膀、飞到海极居住. 就是在那里、你的手必引导我.你的右手、也必扶持我。 我若说、黑暗必定遮蔽我、我周围的亮光必成为黑夜. 黑暗也不能遮蔽我使你不见、黑夜却如白昼发亮.黑暗和光明、在你看都是一样。

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
诗篇 139 默想神对人的认识与同在。诗人用空间和光暗的图像表达无法离开神的看顾,适合让孤独中的人重新思考自己如何被认识。 搬到新城市后,身边还没有熟悉的朋友。新城市中的陌生感提醒我们需要慢慢扎根;小小的重复带来熟悉。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始:找一个可定期参与的社区或教会活动。 我的处境也牵连着别人。认真分辨谁需要被倾听、谁能提供支持,以及哪些边界需要被尊重。
English
Psalm 139 reflects on God's knowledge and presence. Images of space, light, and darkness express the reach of God's care, inviting those who feel alone to consider being known. After moving to a new city, I do not yet have familiar friends nearby. A new city's unfamiliarity invites slow rooting. Small repeated habits create familiarity. Begin with a small concrete response today: Find one community or church activity you can attend regularly. My situation also involves other people. Consider who needs to be heard, who can offer support, and which boundaries deserve respect.
