  139:1 ¶
[[For the end, a Psalm of David.]] O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me. |
|
139:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musician,°°
A Psalm°
of David.]]°
O Yahweh,°
thou hast searched°°
me, and known°°
[me]. |
|
139:2
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before. |
|
139:2
Thou°
knowest°°
my downsitting°°
and mine uprising,°°
thou understandest°°
my thought°
afar off.°° |
|
139:3
Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways. |
|
139:3
Thou compassest°°
my path°
and my lying down,°
and art acquainted°°
[with] all°
my ways.° |
|
139:4
For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, |
|
139:4
For°
[there is] not°
a word°
in my tongue,°
[but], lo,°
O Yahweh,°
thou knowest°°
it altogether.° |
|
139:5
the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me. |
|
139:5
Thou hast beset°°
me behind°
and before,°
and laid°°
thine hand°
upon°
me. |
|
139:6
The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it. |
|
139:6
[Such] knowledge°
[is] too wonderful°°
for°
me; it is high,°°
I cannot°°°
[attain] unto it. |
|
139:7
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence? |
|
139:7
Whither°
shall I go°°°
from thy spirit?°°
or whither°
shall I flee°°
from thy presence?°° |
|
139:8
If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. |
|
139:8
If°
I ascend up°°
into heaven,°
thou°
[art] there:°
if I make my bed°°
in hell,°
behold,°
thou [art there]. |
|
139:9
If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain], |
|
139:9
[If] I take°°
the wings°
of the morning,°
[and] dwell°°
in the uttermost parts°
of the sea;° |
|
139:10
for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me. |
|
139:10
Even°
there°
shall thy hand°
lead°°
me, and thy right hand°
shall hold°°
me. |
|
139:11
When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury. |
|
139:11
If I say,°°
Surely°
the darkness°
shall cover°°
me; even the night°
shall be light°
about°
me.° |
|
139:12
For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to thee]. |
|
139:12
Yea,°
the darkness°
hideth°°
not°
from°
thee; but the night°
shineth°°
as the day:°
the darkness°
and the light°
[are] both alike [to thee]. |
|
139:13
For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb. |
|
139:13
For°
thou°
hast possessed°°
my reins:°
thou hast covered°°
me in my mother's°
womb.° |
|
139:14
I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows [it] well. |
|
139:14
I will praise°°
thee; for°°
I am fearfully°°
[and] wonderfully°
made:°°
marvellous°°
[are] thy works;°
and [that] my soul°
knoweth°°
right well.° |
|
139:15
My bones, which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth. |
|
139:15
My substance°
was not°
hid°°
from°
thee, when°
I was made°°
in secret,°
[and] curiously wrought°°
in the lowest parts°
of the earth.° |
|
139:16
Thine eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them. |
|
139:16
Thine eyes°
did see°°
my substance, yet being unperfect;°
and in°
thy book°
all°
[my members] were written,°°
[which] in continuance°
were fashioned,°°
when [as yet there was] none°°
of them. |
|
139:17
But thy friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened. |
|
139:17
How°
precious°°
also are thy thoughts°
unto me, O El!°
how°
great°°
is the sum°
of them! |
|
139:18
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with thee. |
|
139:18
[If] I should count°°
them, they are more in number°°
than the sand:°°
when I awake,°°
I am still°
with thee.° |
|
139:19
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God; depart from me, ye men of blood. |
|
139:19
Surely°
thou wilt slay°°
the wicked,°
O Eloah:°
depart°°
from°
me therefore, ye bloody°
men.°° |
|
139:20
For thou wilt say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take thy cities in vain. |
|
139:20
For°
they speak°°
against thee wickedly,°
[and] thine enemies°
take°°
[thy name] in vain.° |
|
139:21
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate thee? and wasted away because of thine enemies? |
|
139:21
Do not°
I hate°°
them, O Yahweh,°
that hate°°
thee? and am not I grieved°°
with those that rise up°
against°
thee? |
|
139:22
I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies. |
|
139:22
I hate°°
them with perfect°
hatred:°
I count°
them mine enemies.°° |
|
139:23
Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths; |
|
139:23
Search°°
me, O El,°
and know°°
my heart:°
try°°
me, and know°°
my thoughts:° |
|
139:24
and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way. |
|
139:24
And see°°
if°
[there be any] wicked°
way°
in me, and lead°°
me in the way°
everlasting.° |
