139:1  For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
139:2  You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
139:3  You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
139:4  Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
139:5  You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
139:6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
139:7  Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
139:8  If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
139:9  If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
139:10  Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
139:11  If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"
139:12  Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.
139:13  For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
139:14  I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
139:15  My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
139:16  Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
139:17  How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
139:18  If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
139:19  O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
139:20  For they speak against You wickedly, And Your enemies take Your name in vain.
139:21  Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
139:22  I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies.
139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
139:24  And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
