ASV_Strong : Psalms 139
1.
2. Thou knowest[H3045] my downsitting[H3427] and mine uprising[H6965]; Thou understandest[H995] my thought[H7454] afar off[H7350].
3. Thou searchest[H2219] out my path[H734] and my lying down[H7252], And art acquainted[H5532] with all my ways[H1870].
4. For there is not a word[H4405] in my tongue[H3956], But[H3068], lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether[H3045].
5. Thou hast beset[H6696] me behind[H268] and before[H6924], And laid[H7896] thy hand upon me[H3709].
6. Such knowledge[H1847] is too wonderful[H6383] for me[H7682]; It is high, I cannot attain unto it[H3201].
7. Whither shall I go[H3212] from thy Spirit[H7307]? Or whither shall I flee[H1272] from thy presence[H6440]?
8. If I ascend up[H5266] into heaven[H8064], thou art there[H3331]: If I make my bed in Sheol[H7585], behold, thou art there.
9. If I take[H5375] the wings[H3671] of the morning[H7837], And dwell[H7931] in the uttermost parts[H319] of the sea[H3220];
10. Even there shall thy hand[H3027] lead[H5148] me[H3225], And thy right hand shall hold me[H270].
11. If I say[H559], Surely the darkness[H2822] shall overwhelm[H7779] me[H216], And the light about me[H1157] shall be night[H3915];
12. Even the darkness[H2822] hideth[H2821] not from thee[H3915], But the night shineth[H215] as the day[H3117]: The darkness[H2825] and the light are both alike to thee[H219].
13. For thou didst form[H7069] my inward[H3629] parts[H5526]: Thou didst cover me in my mother[H517]'s womb[H990].
14. I will give thanks[H3034] unto thee[H3372]; For I am fearfully and wonderfully made[H6395]: Wonderful[H6381] are thy works[H4639]; And that my soul[H5315] knoweth[H3045] right well[H3966].
15. My frame[H6108] was not hidden[H3582] from thee[H6213], When I was made in secret[H5643], And curiously wrought[H7551] in the lowest parts[H8482] of the earth[H776].
16. Thine eyes[H5869] did see[H7200] mine unformed[H1564] substance[H5612]; And in thy book they were all written[H3789], Even the days[H3117] that were ordained[H3335] for me[H259], When as yet there was none of them.
17. How precious[H3365] also are thy thoughts[H7454] unto me[H410], O God! How great[H6105] is the sum of them[H7218]!
18. If I should count[H5608] them[H7235], they are more in number than the sand[H2344]: When I awake[H6974], I am still with thee[H5750].
19. Surely thou wilt slay[H6991] the wicked[H7563], O God[H433]: Depart[H5493] from me therefore[H1818], ye bloodthirsty men[H582].
20. For they speak[H559] against thee wickedly[H4209], And thine enemies[H6145] take[H5375] thy name in vain[H7723].
21. Do not I hate[H8130] them[H3068], O Jehovah, that hate[H8130] thee[H6962]? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee[H8618]?
22. I hate[H8130] them with perfect[H8503] hatred[H8135]: They are become mine enemies[H341].
23. Search[H2713] me[H410], O God, and know[H3045] my heart[H3824]: Try[H974] me[H3045], and know my thoughts[H8312];
24. And see[H7200] if there be any wicked[H6090] way[H1870] in me[H5148], And lead me in the way[H1870] everlasting[H5769].
