Psalm 139

God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience.

¹O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].

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

³Thou searchest out 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 Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

⁵Thou 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.

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 Sheol, 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 overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

¹²Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].
