139:1  {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.
139:2  Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;
139:3  Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;
139:4  For there is not yet a word on my tongue, but lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
139:5  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
139:6  O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
139:7  Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?
139:8  If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or 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  And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
139:12  Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
139:13  For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
139:14  I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:15  My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
139:16  Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all my members were written; during many days were they fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
139:17  But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O �God! how great is the sum of them!
139:18  If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
139:19  Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O +God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
139:20  For they speak of thee wickedly, they take thy name in vain, thine enemies.
139:21  Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?
139:22  I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.
139:23  Search me, O �God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;
139:24  And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
