King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 139
1
For the conductor, a psalm of David: O Lord, You have searched me and You know.
2
You know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thoughts from afar.
3
My way and my actions you have made known, and all my paths you have approved.
4
For there is no word in my tongue; O Lord, you know it all.
5
You have afflicted me from behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
6
A wonder is knowledge from me; I am exalted, I cannot attain it.
7
Where shall I go from Your Spirit, and where shall I flee from Your presence?
8
If I ascend to heaven, there you are; and if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.
9
I will bear the wings of dawn; I will dwell at the end of the sea.
10
There also your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
11
And I said, "Surely darkness will cover me, and night will be light around me."
12
Even darkness will not be dark from you, and night will shine like day; darkness is like light.
13
For You have possessed my kidneys; You have covered me in my mother's womb.
14
I will declare upon you for your wonders; I have been amazed at your marvelous deeds, and my soul knows very well.
15
I have not hidden my strength from you, which I have done in secret; I have been raised in the depths of the earth.
16
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance, and in your book all of them were written; the days were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.
17
And what is precious to me, your friends, how powerful they have become.
18
I will recount from the sand; they will increase, I have awakened and I am still with you.
19
If you kill a wicked god, and men of blood turn away from me.
20
What they will say to you for a scheme, do not take for nothing your cities.
21
Does not the Lord hate your adversaries, and will He not fight against your opponents?
22
I have hated the end of hatred; my enemies have been.
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts.
24
And see if the way of pain is before me, and guide me in the path of eternity.
