Psalms 138 | IndexThe Bible - Psalms 139
- 1
- O lord, 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 LORD, 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.
- 7
- 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 LORD, 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.
