Psalm 139

1 O lord, you have searched me, and known me.
Compare verse
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up, you understand my thought afar off.
Compare verse
3 You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Compare verse
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, see, O LORD, you know it altogether.
Compare verse
5 You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand on me.
Compare verse
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
Compare verse
7 Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
Compare verse
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.
Compare verse
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Compare verse
10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
Compare verse
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Compare verse
12 Yes, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
Compare verse
13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb.
Compare verse
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
Compare verse
15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously worked in the lowest parts of the earth.
Compare verse
16 Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Compare verse
17 How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Compare verse
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
Compare verse
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
Compare verse
20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
Compare verse
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
Compare verse
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
Compare verse
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Compare verse
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
