Psalms

139:1		O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
139:2		Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
139:3		Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
139:4		For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
139:5		Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
139:6		Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
139:7		Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
139:8		If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
139:9		If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10		Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
139:11		If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:12		Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
139:13		For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
139:14		I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:15		My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16		Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
139:17		How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
139:18		If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
139:19		Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
139:20		For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
139:21		Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
139:22		I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
139:23		Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
139:24		And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
