Psalms 139
1
LORD, you have searched me,
2
You know my sitting down and my rising up.
3
You search out my path and my lying down,
4
For there is not a word on my tongue,
5
You hem me in behind and before.
6
This knowledge is beyond me.
7
Where could I go from your Spirit?
8
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.
9
If I take the wings of the dawn,
10
even there your hand will lead me,
11
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me.
12
even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,
13
For you formed my inmost being.
14
I will give thanks to you,
15
My frame wasn’t hidden from you,
16
Your eyes saw my body.
17
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
18
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
19
If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
20
For they speak against you wickedly.
21
LORD, don’t I hate those who hate you?
22
I hate them with perfect hatred.
23
Search me, God, and know my heart.
24
See if there is any wicked way in me,
