Psalm 139
Revised Geneva Translation
139 O LORD, You have searched me and known.
2 You know my sitting and my rising. You understand my thoughts afar off.
3 You winnow my paths, and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue but that You know it wholly, O LORD.
5 You fortify me behind and before and lay Your hand upon me.
6 Your knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is so high that I cannot attain to it.
7 Where shall I go from Your Spirit; or where shall I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into Heaven, You are there. If I lie down in Hell, You are there.
9 Let me take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea.
10 Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall hide me,” even the night shall be light around me.
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and light are both alike.
13 For You have possessed my core. You have covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wondrously made. Marvelous are Your works; and my soul knows it well!
15 My bones are not hidden from You; though I was made in secret, fashioned beneath, in the Earth.
16 Your eyes saw me when I was without form; for in Your Book were all things written, days fashioned at a time when there were still none of them.
17 How dear, therefore, are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh that You would slay, O God, the wicked and bloody men. Depart from me
20 those who speak wickedly of You! Your enemies are lifted up in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not earnestly contend with those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with an unfeigned hatred, as if they were my enemies.
23 Try me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts
24 and consider if there is any way of wickedness in me. And lead me in the Way, forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
