Psalm 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.
