| 139 | Psalms | ||
| 1 | O Yahweh, you have searched me and known me! | God all-knowing & ever-present. Psalm 139(v138) | |
| 2 | You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. | ||
| 3 | You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. | ||
| 4 | Even before a word is on my tongue, lo, O Yahweh, you know it altogether. | ||
| 5 | You beset me behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. | ||
| 6 | Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. | ||
| 7 | Whither shall I go from your Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your presence? | ||
| 8 | If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! | ||
| 9 | If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, | ||
| 10 | even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. | ||
| 11 | If I say, "Let only darkness cover me, and the light about me be night," | ||
| 12 | even the darkness is not dark to you, the night is bright as the day; for darkness is as light with you. | ||
| 13 | For you made my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb. | ||
| 14 | I praise you, for you are fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are your works! You know me right well; | ||
| 15 | my frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth. | ||
| 16 | Your eyes beheld my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. | ||
| 17 | How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! | ||
| 18 | If I would count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with you. | ||
| 19 | O that you would slay the wicked, O God, and that men of blood would depart from me, | ||
| 20 | men who maliciously defy you, who lift themselves up against you for evil! | ||
| 21 | Do I not hate them that hate you, O Yahweh? And do I not loathe them that rise up against you? | ||
| 22 | I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my 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! | ||
