Psalms 139:1-11

ASV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;
Thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
But, lo, O Jehovah, 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 unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
If I make my bed in Sheol, 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. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me,
And the light about me shall be night;
