Psalms 139

1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm O Yahweh you have examined me and you have known [me].

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

2 You you know sitting my and standing my you understand thought[s] my from a distance.

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

3 Traveling I and lying down my you sift and all ways my you know intimately.

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

4 For there not [is] a word on tongue my there! O Yahweh you know all of it.

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

5 Back part and front you enclose me and you have put on me hand your.

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

6 ([is too] wonderful *Qk) Knowledge for me it is set on high not I am able to it.

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

7 Where? will I go from spirit your and where? from presence your will I flee.

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

8 If I will ascend heavens [are] there you and I will spread as a bed Sheol there [are] you. (Sheol h7585)

If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there. (Sheol h7585)

9 I will rise up [the] wings of dawn I dwell at [the] end of [the] sea.

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

10 Also there hand your it will lead me and it will grasp me right [hand] your.

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

11 And I said surely darkness it will crush me and [will be] night [the] light behind me.

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

12 Also darkness not it is [too] dark for you and night like the day it shines as darkness as the light.

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

13 For you you created kidneys my you wove together me in [the] womb of mother my.

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

14 I will give thanks to you on for awesome I am wonderful [are] wonderful works your and self my [is] knowing exceedingly.

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

15 Not it was hidden bone[s] my from you who I was made in the secret place I was formed in [the] lower parts of [the] earth.

My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Shapeless form my - they saw eyes your and on scroll your all of them they were written days [which] they were ordained (and to it *QK) one among them.

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written — even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 And to me how! they are precious thoughts your O God how! they are vast sum their.

How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

18 I will count them more than sand they will be numerous! I awoke and still I [am] with you.

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.

19 If you will kill O God - [the] wicked and O men of blood depart from me.

If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God — depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;

20 [those] who They speak of you to wickedness they lift up to falsehood enemies your.

Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies —

21 ¿ Not [those who] hate you O Yahweh - do I hate and rebels your do I loathe?

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?

22 Completeness of hatred I hate them enemies they have become of me.

I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.

23 Examine me O God and know heart my test me and know disquieting thoughts my.

Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;

24 And see if a way of an idol [is] in me and lead me in [the] way of antiquity.

And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.
