NASB Bible

Psalms 139

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1

O LORD, You have  asearched me and known me.

2

You  aknow  1when I sit down and  2when I rise up; You  bunderstand my thought from afar.

3

You  1 ascrutinize my  2path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

4

 1Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You  aknow it all.

5

You have  aenclosed me behind and before, And  blaid Your hand upon me.

6

Such  aknowledge is  btoo wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

7

 aWhere can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8

 aIf I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in  1Sheol, behold,  bYou are there.

9

If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

10

Even there Your hand will  alead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

11

If I say, "Surely the  adarkness will  1overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"

12

Even the  adarkness is not dark  1to You, And the night is as bright as the day.  bDarkness and light are alike to You.

13

For You  aformed my  1inward parts; You  bwove me in my mother's womb.

14

I will give thanks to You, for  1I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  aWonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.

15

My  1 aframe was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the  bdepths of the earth;

16

Your  aeyes have seen my unformed substance; And in  bYour book were all written The  cdays that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.

17

How precious also are Your  athoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18

If I should count them, they would  aoutnumber the sand. When  bI awake, I am still with You.

19

O that You would  aslay the wicked, O God;  bDepart from me, therefore,  cmen of bloodshed.

20

For they  aspeak  1against You wickedly, And Your enemies  2 btake Your name in vain.

21

Do I not  ahate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not  bloathe those who rise up against You?

22

I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies.

23

 aSearch me, O God, and know my heart;  bTry me and know my anxious thoughts;

24

And see if there be any  1 ahurtful way in me, And  blead me in the  ceverlasting way.
