Psalm 139 NIV
You have
searched me, Lord, and you know me.
You know
when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You
discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a
word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me
in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can
I go from your Spirit?
Where can
I flee from your presence?
If I go up
to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise
on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there
your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say,
“Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
even the
darkness will not be dark to you;
the night
will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created
my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works
are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame
was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was
woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes
saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.
How
precious to me are your thoughts, [a] God!
How vast
is the sum of them!
Were I to
count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I
awake, I am still with you.
If only
you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from
me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak
of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not
hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against
you?
I have
nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me,
God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if
there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
