Psalm 139 :: King James Version (KJV)

Psa 139:1

Psa 139:1[[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Psa 139:2

Psa 139:2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Psa 139:3

Psa 139:3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

Psa 139:4

Psa 139:4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

Psa 139:5

Psa 139:5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

Psa 139:6

Psa 139:6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Psa 139:7

Psa 139:7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

Psa 139:8

Psa 139:8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

Psa 139:9

Psa 139:9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

Psa 139:10

Psa 139:10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Psa 139:11

Psa 139:11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

Psa 139:12

Psa 139:12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

Psa 139:13

Psa 139:13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

Psa 139:14

Psa 139:14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Psa 139:15

Psa 139:15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psa 139:16

Psa 139:16Thine 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.

Psa 139:17

Psa 139:17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

Psa 139:18

Psa 139:18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Psa 139:19

Psa 139:19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

Psa 139:20

Psa 139:20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

Psa 139:21

Psa 139:21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

Psa 139:22

Psa 139:22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Psa 139:23

Psa 139:23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

Psa 139:24

Psa 139:24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
