Psalm 139

¹Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:

²Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.

³Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.

⁴And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.

⁵Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.

⁶Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.

⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?

⁸If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.

⁹If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

¹⁰Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.

¹¹And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.

¹²But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.

¹³For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.

¹⁴I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
