Ps 139:1O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
Ps 139:2You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
Ps 139:3You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Ps 139:4Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
Ps 139:5You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
Ps 139:6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Ps 139:7¶ Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
Ps 139:8If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
Ps 139:9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Ps 139:10Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
Ps 139:11If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"
Ps 139:12Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.
Ps 139:13¶ For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
Ps 139:14I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Ps 139:15My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Ps 139:16Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
Ps 139:17¶ How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Ps 139:18If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
Ps 139:19¶ O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
Ps 139:20For they speak against You wickedly, And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Ps 139:21Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
Ps 139:22I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies.
Ps 139:23¶ Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
Ps 139:24And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
