Psalms 139:1-14

¹For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.

³Thou measurest my going about and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

⁴For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.

⁵Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there.

⁹If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰Even there would Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand would hold me.

¹¹And if I say: 'Surely the darkness shall envelop me, and the light about me shall be night';

¹²Even the darkness is not too dark for Thee, but the night shineth as the day; the darkness is even as the light.

¹³For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in my mother's womb.

¹⁴I will give thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
