139:1  O Lord, You have looked through me and have known me.
139:2  You know when I sit down and when I get up. You understand my thoughts from far away.
139:3  You look over my path and my lying down. You know all my ways very well.
139:4  Even before I speak a word, O Lord, You know it all.
139:5  You have closed me in from behind and in front. And You have laid Your hand upon me.
139:6  All You know is too great for me. It is too much for me to understand.
139:7  Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I run away from where You are?
139:8  If I go up to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in the place of the dead, You are there!
139:9  If I take the wings of the morning or live in the farthest part of the sea,
139:10  even there Your hand will lead me and Your right hand will hold me.
139:11  If I say, “For sure the darkness will cover me and the light around me will be night,”
139:12  even the darkness is not dark to You. And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to You.
139:13  For You made the parts inside me. You put me together inside my mother.
139:14  I will give thanks to You, for the greatness of the way I was made brings fear. Your works are great and my soul knows it very well.
139:15  My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret and put together with care in the deep part of the earth.
139:16  Your eyes saw me before I was put together. And all the days of my life were written in Your book before any of them came to be.
139:17  Your thoughts are of great worth to me, O God. How many there are!
139:18  If I could number them, there would be more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
139:19  If only You would kill the sinful, O God, and the men of blood would go away from me!
139:20  For they speak against You in sin. Those who hate You use Your name in a wrong way.
139:21  Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord? And do I not hate those who rise up against You?
139:22  I hate them with the strongest hate. They have become men who hate me.
139:23  Look through me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts.
139:24  See if there is any sinful way in me and lead me in the way that lasts forever.
