Chapter 139

1


 

  Yahweh, you have searched me, And you know me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.  

 

 

--

3


 

  You search out my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For there is not a word on my tongue, But, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.  

 

 

--

5


 

  You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.  

 

 

--

6


 

  This knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty. I can't attain it.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?  

 

 

--

8


 

  If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!  

 

 

--

9


 

  If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;  

 

 

--

10


 

  Even there your hand will lead me, And your right hand will hold me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  If I say, 'Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; The light around me will be night;'  

 

 

--

12


 

  Even the darkness doesn't hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.  

 

 

--

13


 

  For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.  

 

 

--

15


 

  My frame wasn't hidden from you, When I was made in secret, Woven together in the depths of the earth.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.  

 

 

--

17


 

  How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!  

 

 

--

18


 

  If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.  

 

 

--

19


 

  If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!  

 

 

--

20


 

  For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Yahweh, don't I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?  

 

 

--

22


 

  I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.  

 

 

--

24


 

  See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. Psalm 140 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
