PSALM 139 (KJV) AND GOOD NEWS BIBLE

 Psalm 139

139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, 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.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

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

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

God's Complete Knowledge and Care

1. Lord, you have examined me and you know me.

2. You know everything I do ;from far away you understand all my thoughts.

3. You see me, whether I am working or resting ;you know all my actions.

4. Even before I speak, you already know what I will say.

5. You are all round me on every side; you protect me with your power.

6. Your knowledge of me is too deep;it is beyond my understanding.

7. Where could I go to escape from you?Where could I get away from your presence?

8. If I went up to heaven, you would be there;if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.

9. If I flew away beyond the eastor lived in the farthest place in the west,

10. you would be there to lead me, you would be there to help me.

11. I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light round me to turn into night,

12. but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you.
