Psalm 139:1{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD,3068 thou hast searched2713 me, and known3045me.2 Thou knowest3045 my downsitting3427 and mine uprising,6965 thou understandest995 my thought7454 afar off.73503 Thou compassest2219{Or, winnowest} my path734 and my lying down,7252 and art acquainted5532with all my ways.18704 For thereis not a word4405 in my tongue,3956but, lo, O LORD,3068 thou knowest3045 it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset6696 me behind268 and before,6924 and laid7896 thine hand3709 upon me.
6Such knowledge1847is too wonderful63836383 for me; it is high,7682 I cannot3201attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go3212 from thy spirit?7307 or whither shall I flee1272 from thy presence?64408 If I ascend up5266 into heaven,8064 thou art there: if I make my bed3331 in hell,7585 behold, thou artthere.9If I take5375 the wings3671 of the morning,7837and dwell7931 in the uttermost parts319 of the sea;322010 Even there shall thy hand3027 lead5148 me, and thy right hand3225 shall hold270 me.
11 If I say,559 Surely the darkness2822 shall cover7779 me; even the night3915 shall be light216 about me.115712 Yea, the darkness2822 hideth2821 not{Heb. darkeneth not} from thee; but the night3915 shineth215 as the day:3117 the darkness2825 and the light219{Heb. as is the darkness so is the light}are both alike tothee.13 For thou hast possessed7069 my reins:3629 thou hast covered5526 me in my mother's517 womb.99014 I will praise3034 thee; for I am fearfully3372and wonderfully made:6395 marvellous6381are thy works;4639 and that my soul5315 knoweth3045 right{Heb. greatly} well.396615 My substance6108{Or, strength or body} was not hid3582 from thee, when I was made6213 in secret,5643and curiously wrought7551 in the lowest parts8482 of the earth.77616 Thine eyes5869 did see7200 my substance, yet being unperfect;1564 and in thy book5612 all mymembers{Heb. all of them} were written,3789which in continuance3117 were fashioned,3335{Or, what days they should be fashioned} when asyettherewas none259 of them.
17 How precious3365 also are thy thoughts7454 unto me, O God!410 how great6105 is the sum7218 of them!
18If I should count5608 them, they are more in number7235 than the sand:2344 when I awake,6974 I am still5750 with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay6991 the wicked,7563 O God:433 depart5493 from me therefore, ye bloody1818 men.58220 For they speak559 against thee wickedly,4209and thine enemies6145 take5375thyname in vain.772321 Do not I hate8130 them, O LORD,3068 that hate8130 thee? and am not I grieved6962 with those that rise up8618 against thee?
22 I hate8130 them with perfect8503 hatred:8135 I count them mine enemies.34123 Search2713 me, O God,410 and know3045 my heart:3824 try974 me, and know3045 my thoughts:831224 And see7200 if therebeany wicked6090 way1870{Heb. way of pain, or grief} in me, and lead5148 me in the way1870 everlasting.5769
