Psalm 139, O Lord, thou hast searched me out and known me. Thou knowest my down-sitting

and my up-rising. Thou understandest my thoughts long before. Thou art about my path and

about my bed, and spiced out all my ways. For low there was not a word in my tongue,

thou, O Lord, knowest it altogether. Thou hast fashioned me behind and before, and

laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me, I cannot

attain unto it. Withers shall I go then from thy spirit, or withers shall I go then from

thy presence. If I climb up into heaven, thou art there. If I go down to hell, thou art

there also. If I take the wings of the morning and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there also shall one hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, per

adventure, the darkness shall cover me, then shall by night my night be turned today.

Ye the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day. The darkness

and light to thee are both alike. My reigns are thine, thou hast covered me in my mother's

womb. I will give thanks unto thee that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvellous

as I works, and that my soul knoweth right well. My bones are not hid for me, hid from thee,

though I be made secretly and fashioned beneath in the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance,

and in thy book were all my members written, which were fashioned day by day, when as yet

there was none of them. How dear are thy councils to me, O God? Oh, how great is the

sum of them? If I tell them they are more in number than the sand, when I wake up I am

present with thee. Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God? Depart from me ye bloodthirsty men,

for they speak unrighteously against thee, and thy enemies take thy name in vain.

Do I not hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? Am I not grieved with those that rise up against

thee? Ye I hate them right sore, even as though they were mine enemies. Prove me, O God,
