Psa 139:1
For the choir director. Of David. A Psalm.
O Yahweh H3068, You have searched H2713 me and known H3045 me.
Psa 139:2
You know H3045 [fn]when I sit H3427 down H3427 and [fn]when I rise H6965 up H6965;
You understand H995 my thought H7454 from afar H7350.
Psa 139:3
You [fn]scrutinize H2219 my [fn]path H734 and my lying H7250 down H7250,
And are H5532 intimately H5532 acquainted H5532 with H5532 all H3605 my ways H1870.
Psa 139:4
[fn]Even before H369 there H369 is H369 a word H4405 on my tongue H3956,
Behold H2005, O Yahweh H3068, You know H3045 it all H3605.
Psa 139:5
You have enclosed H6696 me behind H268 and before H6924,
And You have put H7896 Your hand H3709 upon me.
Psa 139:6
Such knowledge H1847 is too H4480 wonderful H6383 for me;
It is H7682 too high H7682, I cannot H3201 H3808 attain to it.
Psa 139:7
Where H575 can I go H1980 from Your Spirit H7307?
Or where H575 can I flee H1272 from Your presence H6440?
Psa 139:8
If H518 I ascend H5559 to heaven H8064, You are there H8033;
If I make H3331 my bed H3331 in Sheol H7585, behold H2009, You are there.
Psa 139:9
If I lift H5375 up H5375 the wings H3671 of the dawn H7837,
If I dwell H7931 in the remotest H319 part H319 of the sea H3220,
Psa 139:10
Even H1571 there H8033 Your hand H3027 will lead H5148 me,
And Your right H3225 hand H3225 will lay H270 hold H270 of me.
Psa 139:11
If I say H559, “Surely H389 the darkness H2822 will bruise H7779 me,
And the light H216 around H1157 me will be night H3915,”
Psa 139:12
Even H1571 the darkness H2822 is H2821 not too dark H2821 for You,
And the night H3915 is H215 as bright H215 as the day H3117.
Darkness H2825 and light H219 are alike to You.
Psa 139:13
For You formed H7069 my [fn]inward H3629 parts H3629;
You wove H5526 me in my mother’s H517 womb H990.
Psa 139:14
I will give H3034 thanks H3034 to You, for [fn]I am fearfully H3372 and wonderfully H6381 made;
Wonderful H6381 are Your works H4639,
And my soul H5315 knows H3045 it very H3966 well H3966.
Psa 139:15
My [fn]frame H6108 was not hidden H3582 from You,
When H834 I was made H6213 in secret H5643,
And intricately H7551 woven H7551 in the depths H8482 of the earth H776;
Psa 139:16
Your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 my unshaped H1564 substance H1564;
And in Your book H5612 all H3605 of them were written H3789
The days H3117 that were formed H3335 for me,
When as yet there was not one H259 of them.
Psa 139:17
How H4100 precious H3365 are H3365 Your thoughts H7454 to me, O God H410!
How H4100 vast H6105 is the sum H7218 of them!
Psa 139:18
If I should count H5608 them, they would outnumber H7235 the sand H2344.
When I awake H6974, I am still H5750 with You.
Psa 139:19
Oh H518 that You would slay H6991 the wicked H7563, O God H433!
O men H376 of bloodshed H1818, depart H5493 from me.
Psa 139:20
For they speak H559 [fn]against You wickedly H4209,
And Your enemies H6145 [fn]take H5375 Your name in vain H7723.
Psa 139:21
Do I not hate H8130 those who hate H8130 You, O Yahweh H3068?
And do I not revile H6962 those who rise H6965 up H6965 against You?
Psa 139:22
I hate H8130 them with the utmost H8503 hatred H8135;
They have become H1961 my enemies H340.
Psa 139:23
Search H2713 me, O God H410, and know H3045 my heart H3824;
Try H974 me and know H3045 my anxious H8312 thoughts H8312;
Psa 139:24
And see H7200 if H518 there be any [fn]hurtful H6090 way H1870 in me,
And lead H5148 me in the everlasting H5769 way H1870.
