thou understandestºº
my thoughtº
afar off.ºº |

[with] allº
my ways.º |

thou knowestºº
it altogether.º |

[attain] unto it. |

or whitherº
shall I fleeºº
from thy presence?ºº |

in hell,º
behold,º
thou [art there]. |

in the uttermost partsº
of the sea;º |

me, and thy right handº
shall holdºº
me. |

|
139:11
If I say,ºº
Surelyº
the darknessº
shall coverºº
me; even the nightº
shall be lightº
aboutº
me.º |
139:11
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. |
|
139:12
Yea,º
the darknessº
hidethºº
notº
fromº
thee; but the nightº
shinethºº
as the day:º
the darknessº
and the lightº
[are] both alike [to thee]. |
139:12

my reins:º
thou hast coveredºº
me in my mother'sº
womb.º |
139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. |
|
139:14
I will praiseºº
thee; forºº

made:ºº
marvellousºº
[are] thy works;º
and [that] my soulº
knowethºº
right well.º |
139:14

was notº
hidºº
fromº
thee, whenº
I was madeºº
in secret,º
[and] curiously wroughtºº
in the lowest partsº
of the earth.º |
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 eyesº
did seeºº
my substance, yet being unperfect;º
and inº
thy bookº
allº
[my members] were written,ºº
[which] in continuanceº
were fashioned,ºº
when [as yet there was] noneºº
of 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. |

Howº
preciousºº
also are thy thoughtsº
unto me, O

אֵל!º
howº
greatºº
is the sumº
of them! |
139:17
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O El! how great is the sum of them! |

them, they are more in numberºº
than the sand:ºº
when I awake,ºº
I am stillº
with thee.º |
139:18
[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. |

אֱלוֹהַ:º
departºº
fromº
me therefore, ye bloodyº
men.ºº |
139:19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O Eloah: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. |

they speakºº
against thee wickedly,º
[and] thine enemiesº
takeºº
[thy name] in vain.º |
139:20
For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine enemies take [thy name] in vain. |
|
139:21
Do notº
I hateºº
them, O
Yähwè
יָהוֶה,º
that hateºº
thee? and am not I grievedºº
with those that rise upº
againstº
thee? |
139:21
Do not I hate them, O Yahweh, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? |

them with perfectº
hatred:º
I countº
them mine enemies.ºº |
139:22
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. |
|
139:23
Searchºº
me, O
´Ël
אֵל,º
and knowºº
my heart:º
tryºº
me, and knowºº
my thoughts:º |
139:23
Search me, O El, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: |
|
139:24
And seeºº
ifº
[there be any] wickedº
wayº
in me, and leadºº
me in the wayº
everlasting.º |
139:24
And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
