PS-139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou

hast searched

me, and known [me].

PS-139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou

understandest my

thought afar off.

PS-139:3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art

acquainted [with]

all my ways.

PS-139:4 For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O

LORD, thou

knowest it altogether.

PS-139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine

hand upon me.

PS-139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high,

I cannot

[attain] unto it.

PS-139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I

flee from thy

presence?

PS-139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make

my bed in

hell, behold, thou [art there].

PS-139:9 [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in

the uttermost

parts of the sea;

PS-139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand

shall hold me.

PS-139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the

night shall

be light about me.

PS-139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night

shineth as the

day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].

PS-139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me

in my

mother's womb.

PS-139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and]

wonderfully made:

marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right

well.

PS-139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in

secret, [and]

curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

PS-139:16 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.

PS-139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how

great is the

sum of them!

PS-139:18 [If] I should count them, they are more in number than

the sand:

when I awake, I am still with thee.

PS-139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from

me therefore,

ye bloody men.

PS-139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine

enemies take [thy

name] in vain.

PS-139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not

I grieved

with those that rise up against thee?

PS-139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine

enemies.

PS-139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know

my thoughts:

PS-139:24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead

me in the way

everlasting.
