Psalms 139:1-11

Brenton(i) 1 (138:1) For the end, a Psalm of David.O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me. 2 (138:2) Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before. 3 (138:3) Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways. 4 (138:4) For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, 5 (138:5) the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 (138:6) The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot attain to it. 7 (138:7) Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence? 8 (138:8) If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. 9 (138:9) If I should spread my wings to fly straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, it would be vain, 10 (138:10) for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me. 11 (138:11) When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night was light in my luxury.
