139:1  O LORD, you have searched me, and known me.
139:2  You know my downsitting and my uprising, you understand my thought afar off.
139:3  You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
139:4  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, you know it altogether.
139:5  You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
139:6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
139:7  Where shall I go from your Spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
139:8  If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.
139:9  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
139:10  Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
139:11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
139:12  Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
139:13  For you have formed my inward parts: you have covered me in my mother's womb.
139:14  I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
139:15  My frame was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16  Your eyes did see my substance, being yet unformed; and in your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
139:17  How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
139:18  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
139:19  Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
139:20  For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
139:21  Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
139:24  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
