Psalms 139:1-13

ERV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. LORD, 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 LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I 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; 12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike [to thee]. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
