139Psalms 139

1O lord, you have searched me, and known me.Select Psalms 139:1

2You know my sitting down and my rising up, you understand my thought afar off.Select Psalms 139:2

3You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.Select Psalms 139:3

4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, see, O LORD, you know it altogether.Select Psalms 139:4

5You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand on me.Select Psalms 139:5

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.Select Psalms 139:6

7Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?Select Psalms 139:7

8If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.Select Psalms 139:8

9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;Select Psalms 139:9

10Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.Select Psalms 139:10

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.Select Psalms 139:11

12Yes, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.Select Psalms 139:12

13For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb.Select Psalms 139:13

14I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.Select Psalms 139:14

15My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously worked in the lowest parts of the earth.Select Psalms 139:15

16Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.Select Psalms 139:16

17How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!Select Psalms 139:17

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.Select Psalms 139:18

19Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.Select Psalms 139:19

20For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.Select Psalms 139:20

21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?Select Psalms 139:21

22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.Select Psalms 139:22

23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:Select Psalms 139:23

24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.Select Psalms 139:24
