Ps 139

0 Psalm 139 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 1 O YHWH, you have searched me, and known [me]. 2 You know my downsitting and mine uprising; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You search out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, behold, O YHWH, you know it altogether. 5 You have beset me behind and before, And laid your hand upon me. 6 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain to it. 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall your hand lead me, And your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; 12 Even the darkness hides not from you, But the night shines as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike [to you]. 13 For you did form my inward parts: You did cover me in my mother`s womb. 14 I will give thanks to you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are your works; And that my soul knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, When I was made in secret, [And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in your book they were all written, [Even] the days that were ordained [for me], When as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with you. 19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, you bloodthirsty men. 20 For they speak against you wickedly, And your enemies take [your name] in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O YHWH, that hate you? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against you? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
