Psalms 139

139
PSALM 139
1 To victory, the psalm of David. Lord, thou hast proved me, and hast known me;
2thou hast known my sitting, and my rising again. Thou hast understood my thoughts from [a] far;
3thou hast inquired of my path and my cord. And thou hast before-seen all my ways;
4for no word is in my tongue. Lo! Lord, thou hast known all things,
5the new things and eld [or old]; thou hast formed me, and hast set thine hand on me.
6Thy knowing is made wonderful of me; it is comforted, and I shall not be able to it.
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit; and whither shall I flee from thy face?
8If I shall ascend [or go up] into heaven, thou art there; if I shall go down into hell, thou art present.
9If I shall take my feathers full early; and shall dwell in the last parts of the sea.
10And soothly thither thine hand shall lead me forth; and thy right hand shall hold me.
11And I said, In hap darknesses shall defoul me; and the night is my lightening in my delights.
12For why darknesses shall not be made dark from thee, and the night shall be lightened as the day; as the darknesses thereof, so and the light thereof.
13For thou haddest in possession my reins; thou tookest me up from the womb of my mother.
14I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou art magnified dreadfully; thy works be wonderful, and my soul shall know that full much.
15My bone, which thou madest in private, is not hid from thee; and my substance formed in the lower parts of [the] earth.
16Thine eyes saw mine unperfect thing, and all men shall be written in thy book; days shall be formed, and no man is in those [or them].
17Forsooth, God, thy friends be made honourable full much to me; the prince-hood of them is comforted full much.
18I shall number them, and they shall be multiplied above the gravel; I rose up, and yet I am with thee.
19For thou, God, shalt slay sinners; ye men-quellers, bow away from me.
20For they say in thought; Take they their cities in vanity.
21Lord, whether I hated not them that hated thee; and I failed, that is, mourned greatly, on thine enemies?
22By perfect hatred I hated them; they were made enemies to me.
23God, prove thou me, and know thou mine heart; ask thou me, and know thou my paths.
24And see thou, if way of wicked-ness is in me; and lead thou me forth in [the] everlasting way.
