Psalms 139:1-8

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].
