Psalms:139

Seeker Overlay ON

* O LORD , thou hast searched me , and known me . * Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising , thou understandest my thought afar off . * Thou compassest my path and my lying down , and art acquainted with all my ways . * For there is not a word in my tongue , but , lo , O LORD , thou knowest it altogether . * Thou hast beset me behind and before , and laid thine hand upon me . * 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 ? * If I ascend up into heaven , thou art there : if I make my bed in hell , behold , thou art there . * If I take the wings of the morning , and dwell in the uttermost 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 hast possessed my reins : thou hast covered me in my mother 's womb . * I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made : marvellous are thy works ; and that my soul knoweth right well . * My substance was not hid from thee , when I was made in secret , and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth . * 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 . * How precious also are thy thoughts unto me , O God ! how great is the sum of them ! * If I should count them , they are more in number than the sand : when I awake , I am still with thee . * Surely thou wilt slay the wicked , O God : depart from me therefore , ye bloody men . * For they speak against thee wickedly , and thine enemies take thy name in vain . * Do not I hate them , O LORD , that hate thee ? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee ? * 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 there be any wicked way in me , and lead me in the way everlasting .
