26 Psalms 139:1

26 Psalms 139:1-24 ¹O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

³Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

⁴For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

⁵Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

⁹If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

¹¹If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

¹²Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

¹³For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mothers womb.

¹⁴I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶Thine 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.

¹⁷How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

¹⁸If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

¹⁹Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

²⁰For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

²¹Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

²⁴And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.(KJV)

26 Psalms 139:1-24 ¹O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;

Thou understandest my thought afar off.

³Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,

And art acquainted with all my ways.

⁴For there is not a word in my tongue,

But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

⁵Thou hast beset me behind and before,

And laid thy hand upon me.

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

⁹If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

¹¹If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me,

And the light about me shall be night;

¹²Even the darkness hideth not from thee,

But the night shineth as the day:

The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

¹³For thou didst form my inward parts:

Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

Wonderful are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵My frame was not hidden from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;

And in thy book they were all written,

Even the days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

¹⁸If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:

When I awake, I am still with thee.

¹⁹Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:

Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

²⁰For they speak against thee wickedly,

And thine enemies take thy name in vain.

²¹Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?

And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred:

They are become mine enemies.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart:

Try me, and know my thoughts;

²⁴And see if there be any wicked way in me,(ASV)

⁷¶ Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? ⁸If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I descend into Sheol, behold, thou art there also. ⁹If I lift up my wings like those of an eagle, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, ¹⁰Even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. ¹¹If I say, Surely the darkness shall be as light upon me; even the night shall be light before my face. ¹²The darkness shall not be dark to thee; but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. ¹³For thou hast made my heart; thou hast accepted me from my mother's womb. ¹⁴I will praise thee, because of the wonders which thou hast done; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. ¹⁵My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and marvellously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. ¹⁶Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and upon thy books all these things were written, even before day was and man was brought into existence.

¹⁷¶ How precious also are thy mercies to me, O God! How great is the sum of them? ¹⁸If I should count the best of them, they are more in number than the grains of sand; when I awake I am still with thee. ¹⁹Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart from me therefore, you bloody men. ²⁰For they speak against thee, and have taken thy city without cause. ²¹I hate them, O LORD, who hate thee; and I am grieved with those who rise up against thee. ²²I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies. ²³Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my ways, ²⁴And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

26 Psalms 139:1-24 ¹To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. ²O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me! ³Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar. ⁴Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. ⁵Even before a word is on my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. ⁶Thou dost beset me behind and before, and layest thy hand upon me. ⁷Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. ⁸Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? ⁹If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there! ¹⁰If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, ¹¹even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. ¹²If I say, "Let only darkness cover me, and the light about me be night," ¹³even the darkness is not dark to thee, the night is bright as the day; for darkness is as light with thee. ¹⁴For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁵I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well; ¹⁶my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth. ¹⁷Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. ¹⁸How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! ¹⁹If I would count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee. ²⁰O that thou wouldst slay the wicked, O God, and that men of blood would depart from me, ²¹men who maliciously defy thee, who lift themselves up against thee for evil! ²²Do I not hate them that hate thee, O LORD? And do I not loathe them that rise up against thee? ²³I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. ²⁴Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! [ (Psalms 139:25) And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! ] (RSV)

26 Psalms 139:1-24 ¹Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

²You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

³You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. ⁴Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

⁵You hem me in -- behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

⁷Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? ⁸If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

⁹If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

¹⁰even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

¹¹If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

¹²even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

¹³For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁴I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

¹⁵My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, ¹⁶your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. ¹⁷How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

¹⁸Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

¹⁹If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

²⁰They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

²¹Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?

²²I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

²⁴See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.(NIV)
