139:1  For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
139:2  You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
139:3  You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.
139:4  For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, 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 it.
139:7  Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
139:8  If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, 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 Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.
139:11  If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;
139:12  Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
139:13  For You formed my inward parts; You 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 very well.
139:15  My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
139:16  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
139:17  How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
139:18  If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
139:19  Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
139:20  For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
139:21  Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who 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 anxieties;
139:24  And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
