Chapter 139

1


 

  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Thou knowest my down-sitting and my up rising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For there is not a word on my tongue, but lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  

 

 

--

8


 

  If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  

 

 

--

9


 

  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;  

 

 

--

10


 

  Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.  

 

 

--

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: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul well knoweth.  

 

 

--

15


 

  My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Thy eyes saw my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.  

 

 

--

17


 

  How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  

 

 

--

18


 

  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.  

 

 

--

19


 

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

 

 

--

20


 

  For they speak against thee wickedly, and thy 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 my enemies.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts:  

 

 

--

24


 

  And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  

 

 

--
