139:1
To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. O LORD[H3068], thou hast searched[H2713] me, and known[H3045] me.
139:2
Thou[H7454] knowest[H3045] my downsitting[H3427] and mine uprising[H6965], thou understandest[H995] my thought afar off[H7350].
139:3
Thou compassest[H2219] my path[H734] and my lying down[H7252], and art acquainted[H5532] with all my ways[H1870].
139:4
For there is not a word[H4405] in my tongue[H3956], but, lo, O LORD[H3068], thou knowest[H3045] it altogether.
139:5
Thou hast beset[H6696] me behind[H268] and before[H6924], and laid[H7896] thine hand[H3709] upon me.
139:6
Such knowledge[H1847] is too wonderful[H6383] for me; it is high[H7682], I cannot[H3201] attain unto it.
139:7
Whither shall I go[H3212] from thy spirit[H7307]? or whither shall I flee[H1272] from thy presence[H6440]?
139:8
If I ascend up[H5266] into heaven[H8064], thou art there: if I make my bed[H3331] in hell[H7585], behold, thou art there.
139:9
If I take[H5375] the wings[H3671] of the morning[H7837], and dwell[H7931] in the uttermost parts[H319] of the sea[H3220];
139:10
Even there shall thy hand[H3027] lead[H5148] me, and thy right hand[H3225] shall hold[H270] me.
139:11
If I say[H559], Surely the darkness[H2822] shall cover[H7779] me[H1157]; even the night[H3915] shall be light[H216] about me.
139:12
Yea, the darkness[H2822] hideth[H2821] not from thee; but the night[H3915] shineth[H215] as the day[H3117]: the darkness[H2825] and the light[H219] are both alike to thee.
139:13
For thou hast possessed[H7069] my reins[H3629]: thou hast covered[H5526] me in my mother's[H517] womb[H990].
139:14
I will praise[H3034] thee; for I am fearfully[H3372] and wonderfully made[H6395]: marvellous[H6381] are thy works[H4639]; and that my soul[H5315] knoweth[H3045] right well[H3966].
139:15
My substance[H6108] was not hid[H3582] from thee, when I was made[H6213] in secret[H5643], and curiously wrought[H7551] in the lowest parts[H8482] of the earth[H776].
139:16
Thine eyes[H5869] did see[H7200] my substance, yet being unperfect[H1564]; and in thy book[H5612] all my members were written[H3789], which in continuance[H3117] were fashioned[H3335], when as yet there was none[H259] of them.
139:17
How precious[H3365] also are thy thoughts[H7454] unto me, O God[H410]! how great[H6105] is the sum[H7218] of them!
139:18
If I should count[H5608] them, they are more in number[H7235] than the sand[H2344]: when I awake[H6974], I am still[H5750] with thee.
139:19
Surely thou wilt slay[H6991] the wicked[H7563], O God[H433]: depart[H5493] from me therefore, ye bloody[H1818] men[H582].
139:20
For they speak[H559] against thee wickedly[H4209], and thine enemies[H6145] take[H5375] thy name in vain[H7723].
139:21
Do not I hate[H8130] them, O LORD[H3068], that hate thee? and am not I grieved[H6962] with those that rise up[H8618] against thee?
139:22
I hate[H8130] them with perfect[H8503] hatred[H8135]: I count them mine enemies[H341].
139:23
Search[H2713] me, O God[H410], and know[H3045] my heart[H3824]: try[H974] me, and know my thoughts[H8312]:
139:24
And see[H7200] if there be any wicked[H6090] way[H1870] in me, and lead[H5148] me in the way everlasting[H5769].
