Psalms:139

Seeker Overlay ON

* O LORD , You have searched me and known me . * You know my sitting down and my rising up ; You understand my thought afar off . * You comprehend my path and my lying down , And are acquainted with all my ways . * For there is not a word on my tongue , But behold , O LORD , You know it altogether . * You have hedged me behind and before , And laid Your hand upon me . * Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; It is high , I cannot attain it . * Where can I go from Your Spirit ? Or where can I flee from Your presence ? * If I ascend into heaven , You are there ; If I make my bed in hell , behold , You are there . * If I take the wings of the morning , And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea , * Even there Your hand shall lead me , And Your right hand shall hold me . * If I say , "Surely the darkness shall fall on me ," Even the night shall be light about me ; * 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 . * For You formed my inward parts ; You covered me in my mother 's womb . * I will praise You , for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ; Marvelous are Your works , And that my soul knows very well . * My frame was not hidden from You , When I was made in secret , And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth . * 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 . * How precious also are Your thoughts to me , O God ! How great is the sum of them ! * If I should count them , they would be more in number than the sand ; When I awake , I am still with You . * Oh , that You would slay the wicked , O God ! Depart from me , therefore , you bloodthirsty men . * For they speak against You wickedly ; Your enemies take Your name in vain . * Do I not hate them , O LORD , who hate You ? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You ? * I hate them with perfect hatred ; I count them my enemies . * Search me , O God , and know my heart ; Try me , and know my anxieties ; * And see if there is any wicked way in me , And lead me in the way everlasting .
