Psalm 139
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 4 I
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 6 I
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 6 I
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5 I
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 9 I
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 4 I
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 11 I
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 5 I
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 7 I
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 5 I
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 2 I
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 2 I
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 19 I
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 5 I
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 3 I
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 6 I
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 4 I
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 27 I
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 29 I
