139:1  To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me.
139:2  Thou knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou dost understand my thoughts from afar.
139:3  Thou hast girded my walk and my rest, and hast prepared all my ways.
139:4  For the word is not even upon my tongue, and, behold, O LORD, thou dost know it altogether.
139:5  Thou hast formed my face and my insides and laid thine hand upon me.
139:6  Thy knowledge is wonderful beyond my ability to comprehend; it is high, I cannot understand it.
139:7  Where shall I go from thy spirit? or where shall I flee from thy presence?
139:8  If I ascend to the heavens, thou art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.
139:9  If I take the wings of the dawn and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
139:10  even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
139:11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall shine because of me.
139:12  Even the darkness does not hide from thee; but the night shines as the day; the darkness is as the light.
139:13  For thou hast possessed my kidneys: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that, my soul knows right well.
139:15  My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16  Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.
139:17  Therefore, how precious are thy 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 thee.
139:19  Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
139:20  For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
139:21  Do I not hate all those, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine 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 eternal.
