Psalms 139:1-12

1O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

2You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

3You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.

4For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

5You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.

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

7Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

9If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;

12Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
