­PSA 139:1  O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

 

­PSA 139:2  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my

 thought afar off.

 

­PSA 139:3  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with

 all my ways.

 

­PSA 139:4  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest

 it altogether.

 

­PSA 139:5  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

 

­PSA 139:6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain

 unto it.

 

­PSA 139:7  Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy

 presence?

 

­PSA 139:8  If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in

 hell, behold, thou art there.

 

­PSA 139:9  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts

 of the sea;

 

­PSA 139:10  Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold

 me.

 

­PSA 139:11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall

 be light about me.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 139:13  For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my

 mother's womb.

 

­PSA 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

 marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 139:17  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the

 sum of them!

 

­PSA 139:18  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when

 I awake, I am still with thee.

 

­PSA 139:19  Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore,

 ye bloody men.

 

­PSA 139:20  For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy

 name in vain.

 

­PSA 139:21  Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved

 with those that rise up against thee?

 

­PSA 139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

 

­PSA 139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

 

­PSA 139:24  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way

 everlasting.
