  1. Psalms 139:1–12Rank 1 from verse 13
    Open

    1O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

    2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

    3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

    4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

    5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

    6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

    7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

    8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

    9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

    10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

    11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

    12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
