Psalm 139

1 O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].ASV — Psalm 139:1

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.ASV — Psalm 139:2

3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.ASV — Psalm 139:3

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.ASV — Psalm 139:4

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me.ASV — Psalm 139:5

6 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.ASV — Psalm 139:6

7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?ASV — Psalm 139:7

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.ASV — Psalm 139:8

9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;ASV — Psalm 139:9

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.ASV — Psalm 139:10

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;ASV — Psalm 139:11

12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].ASV — Psalm 139:12

13 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother`s womb.ASV — Psalm 139:13

14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.ASV — Psalm 139:14

15 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, [And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.ASV — Psalm 139:15

16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, [Even] the days that were ordained [for me], When as yet there was none of them.ASV — Psalm 139:16

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!ASV — Psalm 139:17

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.ASV — Psalm 139:18

19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.ASV — Psalm 139:19

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.ASV — Psalm 139:20

21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?ASV — Psalm 139:21

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.ASV — Psalm 139:22

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;ASV — Psalm 139:23

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 140 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.ASV — Psalm 139:24
