139:1 [To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.] O LORD, you have searched me and known me! 139:2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 139:3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 139:4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. 139:5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. 139:7 Where shall I go from your Spirit Or where shall I flee from your presence 139:8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 139:10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 139:11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," 139:12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. 139:13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 139:15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 139:18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. 139:19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! 139:20 They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain! 139:21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD And do I not loathe those who rise up against you 139:22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 139:24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
