Psalm 139

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of David: ADONAI, you have probed me, and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I stand up, you discern my inclinations from afar,

3 you scrutinize my daily activities. You are so familiar with all my ways

4 that before I speak even a word, ADONAI, you know all about it already.

5 You have hemmed me in both behind and in front and laid your hand on me.

6 Such wonderful knowledge is beyond me, far too high for me to reach.

7 Where can I go to escape your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I climb up to heaven, you are there; if I lie down in Sh'ol, you are there.

9 If I fly away with the wings of the dawn and land beyond the sea,

10 even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Let darkness surround me, let the light around me be night,"

12 even darkness like this is not too dark for you; rather, night is as clear as day, darkness and light are the same.

13 For you fashioned my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I thank you because I am awesomely made, wonderfully; your works are wonders -I know this very well.

15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes could see me as an embryo, but in your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed.

17 God, how I prize your thoughts! How many of them there are!

18 If I count them, there are more than grains of sand; if I finish the count, I am still with you.

19 God, if only you would kill off the wicked! Men of blood, get away from me!

20 They invoke your name for their crafty schemes; yes, your enemies misuse it.

21 ADONAI, how I hate those who hate you! I feel such disgust with those who defy you!

22 I hate them with unlimited hatred! They have become my enemies too.

23 Examine me, God, and know my heart; test me, and know my thoughts.

24 See if there is in me any hurtful way, and lead me along the eternal way.

New King James Version NKJV

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.

20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;

24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
