Psalms 139

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know [me].

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

3 You search out my wandering and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For [there is] not a word [yet] on my tongue, [but] behold, O Yahweh, you know it completely.

5 You barricade me behind and in front, and set your hand upon me.

6 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is set high; I cannot [prevail] against it.

7 Where I can go from your Spirit, or where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, there you [are], and if I make my bed [in] Sheol, look! [There] you [are].

9 If I lift up [the] wings of [the] dawn, [and] I alight on [the] far side of [the] sea,

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

11 And if I should say, "Surely darkness will cover me, and [the] light around me [will be as] night,"

12 even [the] darkness is not too dark for you, and [the] night shines as the day-- the darkness [and] the light are alike [for you].

13 Indeed you created my {inward parts}; you wove me in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, because I am fearfully [and] wonderfully [made]. Wonderful [are] your works, and my soul knows [it] well.

15 My {frame} was not hidden from you, when I was created secretly, [and] intricately woven in [the] depths of [the] earth.

16 Your eyes saw my embryo, and in your book they all were written-- days fashioned [for me] when [there was] not one of them.

17 And to me, how precious are your thoughts, O God; how vast is their sum.

18 If I should count them, they would outnumber [the] sand. I awaken, and I [am] still with you.

19 If only you would kill the wicked, O God-- so get away from me, [you] {bloodthirsty men}--

20 who speak against you deceitfully. Your enemies take [your name] in vain.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Yahweh? And do I [not] loathe those who rise up against you?

22 I hate them with a complete hatred; they have become my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 And see if [there is] in me {the worship of false gods}, and lead me in [the] way everlasting.

New International Version NIV

1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.

5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

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

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 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.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

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

24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
