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