Psalms:139

Seeker Overlay ON

* O LORD ! thou hast searched me and known me ! * Thou knowest my sitting –down and my rising –up ; Thou understandest my thoughts from afar ! * Thou seest my path and my lying –down , And art acquainted with all my ways ! * For before the word is upon my tongue , Behold , O LORD ! thou knowest it altogether ! * Thou besettest me behind and before , And layest thine hand upon me ! * Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; It is high , I cannot attain to it ! * Whither shall I go from thy spirit , And whither shall I flee from thy presence ? * If I ascend into heaven , thou art there ! If I make my bed in the underworld , behold , thou art there ! * If I take the wings of the morning , And dwell in the remotest parts of the sea , * Even there shall thy hand lead me , And thy right hand shall hold me ! * If I say , "Surely the darkness shall cover me ;" Even the night shall be light about me . * Yea , the darkness hideth not from thee , But the night shineth as the day ; The darkness and the light are both alike to thee ! * For thou didst form my reins ; Thou didst weave me in my mother ’s womb . * I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ; Marvellous are thy works , And this my soul knoweth full well ! * My frame was not hidden from thee , When I was made in secret . When I was curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth . * Thine eyes did see my substance , while yet unformed , And in thy book was every thing written ; My days were appointed before one of them existed . * How precious to me are thy thoughts , O God ! How great is the sum of them ! * If I should count them , they would outnumber the sand : When I awake , I am still with thee ! * O that thou wouldst slay the wicked , O God ! Ye men of blood , depart from me ! * For they speak against thee wickedly ; Thine enemies utter thy name for falsehood . * Do I not hate them that hate thee , O LORD ? Do I not abhor them that rise up against thee ? * Yea , I hate them with perfect hatred ; I count them mine enemies . * Search me , O God ! and know my heart ; Try me , and know my thoughts ; * And see if the way of trouble be within me , And lead me in the way everlasting !
