Open Psalm 139 in the study tool

1O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.studyinterlinear

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

3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.studyinterlinear

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

5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.studyinterlinear

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

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

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.studyinterlinear

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

10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.studyinterlinear

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.studyinterlinear

12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.studyinterlinear

13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.studyinterlinear

14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.studyinterlinear

15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.studyinterlinear

16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.studyinterlinear

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!studyinterlinear

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.studyinterlinear

19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.studyinterlinear

20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.studyinterlinear

21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?studyinterlinear

22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.studyinterlinear

23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:studyinterlinear

24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.studyinterlinear
