3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.Select Psalms 139:3

4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.Select Psalms 139:4

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art 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 thy hand lead me, and thy 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

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

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto 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 thee.Select Psalms 139:18

19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.Select Psalms 139:19

20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.Select Psalms 139:20

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

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