Psalms 139
Reading Psalms chapter 139 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
2 Thou knowest my down-sitting and my up rising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted [with] all my ways.
4 For [there is] not a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot [attain] to it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].
9 [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
