Psalms 139
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.🔗🔍
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.🔗🔍
3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.🔗🔍
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.🔗🔍
5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.🔗🔍
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.🔗🔍
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?🔗🔍
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.🔗🔍
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;🔗🔍
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.🔗🔍
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.🔗🔍
12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.🔗🔍
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.🔗🔍
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.🔗🔍
15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.🔗🔍
16Thine 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.🔗🔍
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!🔗🔍
18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.🔗🔍
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.🔗🔍
20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.🔗🔍
21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?🔗🔍
22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.🔗🔍
23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:🔗🔍
24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.🔗🔍
