| Psalm 139 Text (WEB)
|
- Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.
- You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
- You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
- For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.
- You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
- This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.
- Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
- If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
- If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
- Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
- If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night;"
- even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
- For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.
- I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
- My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
- Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.
- How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
- If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
- If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
- For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
- Yahweh, don't I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
- I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
- Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
- See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

| Psalm 139 Text (Hebrew)
|
- למנצח לדוד מזמור יהוה חקרתני ותדע׃
- אתה ידעת שבתי וקומי בנתה לרעי מרחוק׃
- ארחי ורבעי זרית וכל־דרכי הסכנתה׃
- כי אין מלה בלשוני הן יהוה ידעת כלה׃
- אחור וקדם צרתני ותשת עלי כפכה׃
- דעת ממני נשגבה לא־אוכל לה׃
- אנה אלך מרוחך ואנה מפניך אברח׃
- אם־אסק שמים שם אתה ואציעה שאול הנך׃
- אשא כנפי־שחר אשכנה באחרית ים׃
- גם־שם ידך תנחני ותאחזני ימינך׃
- ואמר אך־חשך ישופני ולילה אור בעדני׃
- גם־חשך לא־יחשיך ממך ולילה כיום יאיר כחשיכה כאורה׃
- כי־אתה קנית כליתי תסכני בבטן אמי׃
- אודך על כי נוראות נפליתי נפלאים מעשיך ונפשי ידעת מאד׃
- לא־נכחד עצמי ממך אשר־עשיתי בסתר רקמתי בתחתיות ארץ׃
- גלמי ראו עיניך ועל־ספרך כלם יכתבו ימים יצרו אחד בהם׃
- ולי מה־יקרו רעיך אל מה עצמו ראשיהם׃
- אספרם מחול ירבון הקיצתי ועודי עמך׃
- אם־תקטל אלוה רשע ואנשי דמים סורו מני׃
- אשר יאמרך למזמה נשא לשוא עריך׃
- הלוא־משנאיך יהוה אשנא ובתקוממיך אתקוטט׃
- תכלית שנאה שנאתים לאויבים היו לי׃
- חקרני אל ודע לבבי בחנני ודע שרעפי׃
- וראה אם־דרך־עצב בי ונחני בדרך עולם׃

| Psalm 139 Text (Latin)
|
- In finem, psalmus David. Domine, probasti me, et cognovisti me ;
- tu cognovisti sessionem meam et resurrectionem meam.
- Intellexisti cogitationes meas de longe ; semitam meam et funiculum meum investigasti ;
- et omnes vias meas prævidisti, quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
- Ecce, Domine, tu cognovisti omnia, novissima et antiqua. Tu formasti me, et posuisti super me manum tuam.
- Mirabilis facta est scientia tua ex me ; confortata est, et non potero ad eam.
- Quo ibo a spiritu tuo ? et quo a facie tua fugiam ?
- Si ascendero in cælum, tu illic es ; si descendero in infernum, ades.
- Si sumpsero pennas meas diluculo, et habitavero in extremis maris,
- etenim illuc manus tua deducet me, et tenebit me dextera tua.
- Et dixi : Forsitan tenebræ conculcabunt me ; et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis.
- Quia tenebræ non obscurabuntur a te, et nox sicut dies illuminabitur ; sicut tenebræ ejus, ita et lumen ejus.
- Quia tu possedisti renes meos ; suscepisti me de utero matris meæ.
- Confitebor tibi, quia terribiliter magnificatus es ; mirabilia opera tua, et anima mea cognoscit nimis.
- Non est occultatum os meum a te, quod fecisti in occulto ; et substantia mea in inferioribus terræ.
- Imperfectum meum viderunt oculi tui, et in libro tuo omnes scribentur. Dies formabuntur, et nemo in eis.
- Mihi autem nimis honorificati sunt amici tui, Deus ; nimis confortatus est principatus eorum.
- Dinumerabo eos, et super arenam multiplicabuntur. Exsurrexi, et adhuc sum tecum.
- Si occideris, Deus, peccatores, viri sanguinum, declinate a me ;
- quia dicitis in cogitatione : Accipient in vanitate civitates tuas.
- Nonne qui oderunt te, Domine, oderam ? et super inimicos tuos tabescebam ?
- Perfecto odio oderam illos, et inimici facti sunt mihi.
- Proba me, Deus, et scito cor meum ; interroga me, et cognosce semitas meas.
- Et vide si via iniquitatis in me est ; et deduc me in via æterna.

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