Psalms 139
Big screen- 1O lord, you have searched me, and known me.
- 2You know my sitting down and mine rising up, you understand my thought far off.
- 3You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
- 4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, you know it altogether.
- 5You have beset me behind and before, and laid yours hand upon me.
- 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
- 7Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
- 8If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.
- 9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
- 10Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
- 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
- 12Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
- 13For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb.
- 14I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
- 15My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the low parts of the earth.
- 16Yours eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
- 17How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
- 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
- 19Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, all of you bloody men.
- 20For they speak against you wickedly, and yours enemies take your name in vain.
- 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
- 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
- 23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
- 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
