Psalms - Chapter 139 | New King James Version

  • 1. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
  • 2. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
  • 3. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.
  • 4. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
  • 5. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
  • 6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.
  • 7. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
  • 8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, 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, "Surely the darkness shall fall {cf2super [101]} on me," Even the night shall be light about me;
  • 12. 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.
  • 13. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.
  • 14. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; {cf2super [102]} Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
  • 15. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
  • 16. 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.
  • 17. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
  • 18. If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
  • 19. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
  • 20. For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. {cf2super [103]}
  • 21. Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who 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 anxieties;
  • 24. And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
