Psalms 139 — WBMS
139Verse 1To victory, the psalm of David. Lord, thou hast proved me, and hast known me;Verse 2thou hast known my sitting, and my rising again. Thou hast understood my thoughts from [a] far;Verse 3thou hast inquired of my path and my cord. And thou hast before-seen all my ways;Verse 4for no word is in my tongue. Lo! Lord, thou hast known all things,Verse 5the new things and eld [or old]; thou hast formed me, and hast set thine hand on me.Verse 6Thy knowing is made wonderful of me; it is comforted, and I shall not be able to it.Verse 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit; and whither shall I flee from thy face?Verse 8If I shall ascend [or go up] into heaven, thou art there; if I shall go down into hell, thou art present.Verse 9If I shall take my feathers full early; and shall dwell in the last parts of the sea.Verse 10And soothly thither thine hand shall lead me forth; and thy right hand shall hold me.Verse 11And I said, In hap darknesses shall defoul me; and the night is my lightening in my delights.Verse 12For why darknesses shall not be made dark from thee, and the night shall be lightened as the day; as the darknesses thereof, so and the light thereof.Verse 13For thou haddest in possession my reins; thou tookest me up from the womb of my mother.Verse 14I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou art magnified dreadfully; thy works be wonderful, and my soul shall know that full much.Verse 15My bone, which thou madest in private, is not hid from thee; and my substance formed in the lower parts of [the] earth.Verse 16Thine eyes saw mine unperfect thing, and all men shall be written in thy book; days shall be formed, and no man is in those [or them].Verse 17Forsooth, God, thy friends be made honourable full much to me; the prince-hood of them is comforted full much.Verse 18I shall number them, and they shall be multiplied above the gravel; I rose up, and yet I am with thee.Verse 19For thou, God, shalt slay sinners; ye men-quellers, bow away from me.Verse 20For they say in thought; Take they their cities in vanity.Verse 21Lord, whether I hated not them that hated thee; and I failed, that is, mourned greatly, on thine enemies?Verse 22By perfect hatred I hated them; they were made enemies to me.Verse 23God, prove thou me, and know thou mine heart; ask thou me, and know thou my paths.Verse 24And see thou, if way of wicked-ness is in me; and lead thou me forth in [the] everlasting way.
