Psalms 139:1-14

¹For the leader. Of David, a psalm. O Lord, you search and know me;

²when I sit, when I rise you know it, you perceive my thoughts from afar.

³When I walk, when I lie you sift it, familiar with all my ways.

⁴There is not a word on my tongue, but see! Lord, you know it all.

⁵Behind and before you beset me, upon me you lay your hand.

⁶It's too wonderful for me to know too lofty I cannot attain it.

⁷Whither shall I go from your spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your face?

⁸If I climb up to heaven, you are there: or make Sheol my bed, you are there.

⁹If I lift up the wings of the morning and fly to the end of the sea,

¹⁰there also your hand would grasp me, and your right hand take hold of me.

¹¹If I say, “Let the darkness cover me, and night be the light about me,”

¹²The dark is not dark for you, but night is as light as the day.

¹³For you did put me together; in my mother's womb you did weave me.

¹⁴I give you praise for my fashioning so full of awe, so wonderful. Your works are wonderful. You knew me right well;
