psa 139:1

  O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

psa 139:2

  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

psa 139:3

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

psa 139:4

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

psa 139:5

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

psa 139:6

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

psa 139:7

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

psa 139:8

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

psa 139:9

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

psa 139:10

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

psa 139:11

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

psa 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.

psa 139:13

  For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

psa 139:14

  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

psa 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.

psa 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.

psa 139:17

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

psa 139:18

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

psa 139:19

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

psa 139:20

  For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

psa 139:21

  Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

psa 139:22

  I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

psa 139:23

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

psa 139:24

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