psalms 139

1 - The LORD, you have searched me,and you know me.
2 - You know my sitting down and my rising up.You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 - You search out my path and my lying down,and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 - For there is not a word on my tongue,but, behold, The LORD, you know it altogether.
5 - You hem me in behind and before.You laid your hand on me.
6 - This knowledge is beyond me.It's lofty.I can't attain it.
7 - Where could I go from your Spirit?Or where could I flee from your presence?
8 - If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
9 - If I take the wings of the dawn,and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 - Even there your hand will lead me,and your right hand will hold me.
11 - If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me;the light around me will be night";
12 - even the darkness doesn't hide from you,but the night shines as the day.The darkness is like light to you.
13 - For you formed my inmost being.You knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 - I will give thanks to you,for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Your works are wonderful.My soul knows that very well.
15 - My frame wasn't hidden from you,when I was made in secret,woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 - Your eyes saw my body.In your book they were all written,the days that were ordained for me,when as yet there were none of them.
17 - How precious to me are your thoughts, God!How vast is their sum!
18 - If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.When I wake up, I am still with you.
19 - If only you, God, would kill the wicked.Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 - For they speak against you wickedly.Your enemies take your name in vain.
21 - The LORD, don't I hate those who hate you?Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
22 - I hate them with perfect hatred.They have become my enemies.
23 - Search me, God, and know my heart.Try me, and know my thoughts.
24 - See if there is any wicked way in me,and lead me in the everlasting way.
