Chapter 139

1


 

  To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.  

 

 

--

3


 

  My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!  

 

 

--

5


 

  Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?  

 

 

--

8


 

  If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!  

 

 

--

9


 

  I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,  

 

 

--

10


 

  Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.  

 

 

--

11


 

  And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to me.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.  

 

 

--

13


 

  For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] well.  

 

 

--

15


 

  My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.  

 

 

--

17


 

  And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!  

 

 

--

18


 

  I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!  

 

 

--

20


 

  Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?  

 

 

--

22


 

  [With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.  

 

 

--

23


 

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

 

 

--

24


 

  And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!  

 

 

--
