Chapter 139

¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David.
² Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
³ Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
⁴ They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
⁵ Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
⁶ the proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
⁷ I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
⁸ O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
⁹ Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
¹⁰ The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
¹¹ Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
¹² A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
¹³ I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
¹⁴ But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.

Chapter 139

¹ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
² Thou knowest my down-sitting and my up rising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
³ Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue, but lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
⁵ Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
⁸ If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
¹² Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
¹³ For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
¹⁴ I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul well knoweth.
¹⁵ My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
¹⁶ Thy eyes saw my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
¹⁸ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
¹⁹ Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
²⁰ For they speak against thee wickedly, and thy enemies take thy name in vain.
²¹ Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
²² I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts:
²⁴ And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Chapter 139

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
² You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
³ You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
⁵ I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
⁶ Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
⁷ Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
⁸ If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
¹⁰ Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
¹¹ If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
¹² Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
¹³ My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
¹⁴ I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
¹⁵ My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
¹⁷ How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
¹⁸ If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
¹⁹ If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
²⁰ For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
²¹ Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
²² My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
²³ O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
²⁴ See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
