engKJVCPB: Psalms 139

=> Chapters

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

[1] O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

[2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,

Thou understandest my thought afar off.

[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down,

And art acquainted with all my ways.

[4] For there is not a word in my tongue,

But lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

[5] Thou hast beset me behind and before,

And laid thine 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 up into heaven, thou art there:

If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

[9] If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

[10] Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;

Even the night shall be light about me.

[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.

[13] For thou hast possessed my reins:

Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

[14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

Marvellous are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth right well.

[15] My substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

[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.

[17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God:

How great is the sum of them!

[18] If I should count them, they are moe in number than the sand:

When I awake, I am still with thee.

[19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:

Depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

[20] For they speak against thee wickedly,

And thine enemies take thy name in vain.

[21] Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?

And am not I grieved with those that 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 thoughts:

[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.
