PsalmsPsalm 139 |
1 O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me. |
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts from above. |
3 Thou knowest my way and my paths, and art acquainted with all my ways. |
4 For if there is deception in my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. |
5 From the beginning to the end, thou knowest me, O LORD, for thou hast formed and laid thy hand upon me. |
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. |
7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I descend into Sheol, behold, thou art there also. |
9 If I lift up my wings like those of an eagle, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, |
10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. |
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall be as light upon me; even the night shall be light before my face. |
12 The darkness shall not be dark to thee; but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. |
13 For thou hast made my heart; thou hast accepted me from my mother's womb. |
14 I will praise thee, because of the wonders which thou hast done; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. |
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and marvellously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and upon thy en_lbp_books all these things were written, even before day was and man was brought into existence. |
17 How precious also are thy mercies to me, O God! How great is the sum of them? |
18 If I should count the best of them, they are more in number than the grains of sand; when I awake I am still with thee. |
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart from me therefore, you bloody men. |
20 For they speak against thee, and have taken thy city without cause. |
21 I hate them, O LORD, who hate thee; and I am grieved with those who rise up against thee. |
22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies. |
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my ways, |
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
