不管我们在哪里，面对何事，上帝都晓得。

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise. Psalm 139:1-2

耶和华啊，祢已经鉴察我、认识我。我坐下，我起来，祢都晓得。-诗篇139篇1-2节

Did God know about me as I drove at night on a 100-mile journey to my village? Given the condition I was in, the answer was not simple. My temperature ran high and my head ached. I prayed, “Lord, I know you are with me, but I’m in pain!”

在非洲生活时，一天晚上，当我开车准备回到160公里以外的村庄时，上帝晓得我的状况吗？按我当时的景况而言，实在很难说。那时，我发高烧，头痛欲裂。我祈求说：“主啊，我知道祢和我同在，但我真的很痛苦！”

Tired and weak, I parked by the road near a small village. Ten minutes later, I heard a voice. “Hello! Do you need any help?” It was a man with his companions from the community. Their presence felt good. When they told me the name of their village, Naa mi n’yala (meaning, “The King knows about me!”), I was amazed. I had passed this community dozens of times without stopping. This time, the Lord used its name to remind me that, indeed, He, the King, was with me while I was alone on that road in my ailing condition. Encouraged, I pressed on toward the nearest clinic.

因为疲惫无力，我在一个小村庄附近停车休息。十分钟后，我听到有人问我说：“你好！你需要帮助吗？”原来是那个村庄的村民。有他们作伴，我感觉好多了。他们还告诉我村庄的名字，其意思竟然是“这位君王晓得我的事”！令我十分讶异。过去我虽常经过这里，但我从未稍作停留。这一次，主用这个村庄的名称提醒我，纵然我身体不适且又独自开车行驶，但这位君王确实与我同在。受到鼓舞后，我就继续开车前往最靠近的诊所。

God knows us thoroughly as we go about our everyday chores, at different locations and situations, no matter our condition (Psalm 139:1–4, 7–12). He does not abandon us or forget us; nor is He so busy that He neglects us. Even when we are in trouble or in difficult circumstances—“darkness” and “night” (vv. 11–12)—we are not hidden from His presence. This truth gives us such hope and assurance that we can praise the Lord who has carefully created us and leads us through life (v. 14).

无论我们在哪里，处在何种情况，上帝都完全了解我们的日常琐事（诗篇139篇1-4、7-12节）。祂不会离弃我们，也不会忘记我们，更不会因忙碌而忽略了我们。即使我们犯了错或陷入困境，有如在“黑暗”和“黑夜”中（11-12节），祂依然与我们同在。这个真理带给了我们希望和确据，使我们可以赞美这位主，因祂细心地创造我们，并要引导你我走人生的路程（14节）。

主啊，谢谢祢，祢总是知道我在哪里、状况如何。主啊，祢深知我，我感谢祢，因我可以信赖祢的确关心我。

Psalm 139:1-14    NIV

139 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

诗篇 139:1-14 

139 耶和华啊，你已经鉴察我，认识我。

2 我坐下，我起来，你都晓得，你从远处知道我的意念。

3 我行路，我躺卧，你都细察，你也深知我一切所行的。

4 耶和华啊，我舌头上的话，你没有一句不知道的。

5 你在我前后环绕我，按手在我身上。

6 这样的知识奇妙，是我不能测的；至高，是我不能及的。

7 我往哪里去躲避你的灵？我往哪里逃躲避你的面？

8 我若升到天上，你在那里；我若在阴间下榻，你也在那里。

9 我若展开清晨的翅膀，飞到海极居住，

10 就是在那里，你的手必引导我，你的右手也必扶持我。

11 我若说“黑暗必定遮蔽我，我周围的亮光必成为黑夜”，

12 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。

13 我的肺腑是你所造的，我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。

14 我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏；你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。

In Psalm 139 David marvels at the Creator God. In these verses the poet-king reflects on God’s omniscience (vv. 1–6), omnipresence (vv. 7–12), and omnipotence (vv. 13–18)—clearly marking God out as distinct and above the creation He has made. This is the God who has welcomed us into relationship with Himself—and that invitation is based on His complete knowledge of who we are and how we have failed. His total awareness of our brokenness makes it all the more amazing that He desires for us to know Him.

在诗篇139篇，大卫对这位创造主上帝发出赞叹。在这首诗篇中，诗人君王大卫思想上帝的无所不知（1-6节）、无所不在（7-12节）和无所不能（13-18节），清楚表明上帝远超越祂所创造的一切。这位上帝欢迎我们与祂建立关系，因为祂完全了解我们，也知道我们的软弱和失败。祂深知我们的败坏，却仍渴望我们能认识祂，这是何等奇妙啊！
