Psalms 139:7

1
O
L
ORD
,
thou hast searched me, and known
me
.
2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted
with
all my ways.
4
For
there is
not a word in my tongue,
but
, lo, O
L
ORD
, thou knowest it altogether.
5
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6
Such
knowledge
is
too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot
attain
unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou
art
there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou
art there
.
9
If
I take the wings of the morning,
and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light
are
both alike
to thee
.
13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully
and
wonderfully made: marvellous
are
thy works; and
that
my soul knoweth right well.
15
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all
my members
were written,
which
in continuance were fashioned, when
as yet there was
none of them.
17
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18
If
I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20
For they speak against thee wickedly,
and
thine enemies take
thy name
in vain.
21
Do not I hate them, O
L
ORD
, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24
And see if
there be any
wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
