O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. 2Thou knowest my down-sitting and my up rising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted [with] all my ways. 4For [there is] not a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me. 6[Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot [attain] to it. 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8If I ascend into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there]. 9[If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14I will praise thee: for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: wonderful [are] thy works; and [that] my soul well knoweth. 15My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, [and] curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth. 16Thy eyes saw my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them. 17How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thy enemies take [thy name] in vain. 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies. 23Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: 24And see if [there is any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 138Next chapterPsalms 140›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 139 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
