Psalms 139:1-23

139:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

A Psalm
<04210>

of David
<01732>.>>

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast searched
<02713> (8804)

me, and known
<03045> (8799)

[me].

139:2

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

my downsitting
<03427> (8800)

and mine uprising
<06965> (8800)_,

thou understandest
<0995> (8804)

my thought
<07454>

afar off
<07350>_.

139:3

Thou compassest
<02219> (8765)

my path
<0734>

and my lying down
<07252>_,

and art acquainted
<05532> (8689)

[with] all my ways
<01870>_.

{compassest: or, winnowest}

139:4

For [there is] not a word
<04405>

in my tongue
<03956>_,

[but], lo, O LORD
<03068>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

it altogether.

139:5

Thou hast beset
<06696> (8804)

me behind
<0268>

and before
<06924>_,

and laid
<07896> (8799)

thine hand
<03709>

upon me.

139:6

[Such] knowledge
<01847>

[is] too wonderful
<06383> (8675) <06383>

for me; it is high
<07682> (8738)_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

[attain] unto it.

139:7

Whither shall I go
<03212> (8799)

from thy spirit
<07307>_?

or whither shall I flee
<01272> (8799)

from thy presence
<06440>_?

139:8

If I ascend up
<05266> (8799)

into heaven
<08064>_,

thou [art] there: if I make my bed
<03331> (8686)

in hell
<07585>_,

behold, thou [art there].

139:9

[If] I take
<05375> (8799)

the wings
<03671>

of the morning
<07837>_,

[and] dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the uttermost parts
<0319>

of the sea
<03220>_;

139:10

Even there shall thy hand
<03027>

lead
<05148> (8686)

me, and thy right hand
<03225>

shall hold
<0270> (8799)

me.

139:11

If I say
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely the darkness
<02822>

shall cover
<07779> (8799)

me; even the night
<03915>

shall be light
<0216>

about me
<01157>_.

139:12

Yea, the darkness
<02822>

hideth
<02821> (8686)

not from thee; but the night
<03915>

shineth
<0215> (8686)

as the day
<03117>_:

the darkness
<02825>

and the light
<0219>

[are] both alike [to thee]. {hideth...: Heb. darkeneth not} {the darkness and...: Heb. as is the darkness, so is the light}

139:13

For thou hast possessed
<07069> (8804)

my reins
<03629>_:

thou hast covered
<05526> (8799)

me in my mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_.

139:14

I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee; for I am fearfully
<03372> (8737)

[and] wonderfully made
<06395> (8738)_:

marvellous
<06381> (8737)

[are] thy works
<04639>_;

and [that] my soul
<05315>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

right well
<03966>_.

{right...: Heb. greatly}

139:15

My substance
<06108>

was not hid
<03582> (8738)

from thee, when I was made
<06213> (8795)

in secret
<05643>_,

[and] curiously wrought
<07551> (8795)

in the lowest parts
<08482>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{substance: or, strength, or, body}

139:16

Thine eyes
<05869>

did see
<07200> (8804)

my substance, yet being unperfect
<01564>_;

and in thy book
<05612>

all [my members] were written
<03789> (8735)_,

[which] in continuance
<03117>

were fashioned
<03335> (8795)_,

when [as yet there was] none
<0259>

of them. {all...: Heb. all of them} {which...: or, what days they should be fashioned}

139:17

How precious
<03365> (8804)

also are thy thoughts
<07454>

unto me, O God
<0410>_!

how great
<06105> (8804)

is the sum
<07218>

of them!

139:18

[If] I should count
<05608> (8799)

them, they are more in number
<07235> (8799)

than the sand
<02344>_:

when I awake
<06974> (8689)_,

I am still
<05750>

with thee.

139:19

Surely thou wilt slay
<06991> (8799)

the wicked
<07563>_,

O God
<0433>_:

depart
<05493> (8798)

from me therefore, ye bloody
<01818>

men
<0582>_.

139:20

For they speak
<0559> (8799)

against thee wickedly
<04209>_,

[and] thine enemies
<06145>

take
<05375> (8804)

[thy name] in vain
<07723>_.

139:21

Do not I hate
<08130> (8799)

them, O LORD
<03068>_,

that hate
<08130> (8764)

thee? and am not I grieved
<06962> (8709)

with those that rise up
<08618>

against thee?

139:22

I hate
<08130> (8804)

them with perfect
<08503>

hatred
<08135>_:

I count them mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

139:23

Search
<02713> (8798)

me, O God
<0410>_,

and know
<03045> (8798)

my heart
<03824>_:

try
<0974> (8798)

me, and know
<03045> (8798)

my thoughts
<08312>_:
