Psalms
Pss.139
[1] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
[2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 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 in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD,
thou knowest it altogether.
[5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine
hand upon me.
[6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I
cannot attain unto it.
[7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I
flee from thy presence?
[8] If I ascend up 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] Yea, 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: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul
knoweth right well.
[15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made
in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the
earth.
[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.
[17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto 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 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:
[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me
in the way everlasting.
