Psalms Chapter 139 (ESV)
undefined
O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
undefined
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
undefined
You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
undefined
Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
undefined
You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
undefined
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
undefined
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
undefined
If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
undefined
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
undefined
even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
undefined
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”
undefined
even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
undefined
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
undefined
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
undefined
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
undefined
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
undefined
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
undefined
If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
undefined
Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!
undefined
They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain.
undefined
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
undefined
I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.
undefined
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
undefined
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
