Psalms 139:1-12

1O LORDH3068, thou hast searchedH2713 me, and knownH3045 me . 2Thou knowestH3045 my downsittingH3427 and my uprisingH6965, thou understandestH995 my thoughtH7454 afar offH7350. 3Thou dost scrutinizeH2219 my pathH734 and my lying downH7252, and art acquaintedH5532 with all my waysH1870.1 4For there is not a wordH4405 on my tongueH3956, but, lo, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045 it altogether. 5Thou hast besetH6696 me behindH268 and beforeH6924, and laidH7896 thy handH3709 upon me. 6Such knowledgeH1847 is too wonderfulH6383 for me; it is highH7682, I cannotH3201 attain to it.

7Where shall I goH3212 from thy spiritH7307? or where shall I fleeH1272 from thy presenceH6440? 8If I ascendH5266 into heavenH8064, thou art there: if I make my bedH3331 in hellH7585, behold, thou art there . 9If I takeH5375 the wingsH3671 of the morningH7837, and dwellH7931 in the uttermost partsH319 of the seaH3220; 10Even there shall thy handH3027 leadH5148 me, and thy right handH3225 shall holdH270 me. 11If I sayH559, Surely the darknessH2822 shall coverH7779 me; even the nightH3915 shall be lightH216 about meH1157. 12Yea, the darknessH2822 hidethH2821 not from thee; but the nightH3915 shinethH215 as the dayH3117: the darknessH2825 and the lightH219 are both alike to thee .23
