Psalm 139:title–12

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

O Lord, ^athou hast searched me, and known me.

²Thou knowest ^bcmy downsitting and ^cdmine uprising,

^eThou understandest my ^fthought afar off.

^3eThou compassest my path and my lying down,

And art ^gacquainted with all my ways.

⁴For there is not a word in my tongue,

But lo, O Lord, ^hthou knowest it altogether.

⁵Thou hast ⁱbeset me behind and before,

And ^klaid thine hand upon me.

⁶Such ^lknowledge is ^mtoo wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷ⁿWhither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither ^oshall I flee from thy presence?

^8pIf I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

^qIf I ^rmake my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

⁹If I take ^sthe wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰Even there shall thy hand ^tlead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

¹¹If I say, ^uSurely the darkness shall cover me;

Even the night shall be light about me.

¹²Yea, ^uthe darkness hideth not from thee;

But the night shineth as the day:

The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
