Psalms 139

God’s omnipresence and omniscience.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,

For there is not a word in my tongue,

Thou hast beset me behind and before,

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

If I take the wings of the morning,

Even there shall thy hand lead me,

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me,

Even the darkness hideth not from thee,

For thou didst form my inward parts:

I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

My frame was not hidden from thee,

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:

For they speak against thee wickedly,

Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?

I hate them with perfect hatred:

Search me, O God, and know my heart:

And see if there be any wicked way in me,
