Psalms 139

Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, you have ^ksearched me and known me!
2 You ^lknow when I sit down and when I rise up;
you ^mdiscern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, ⁿyou know it altogether.
5 You ^ohem me in, behind and before,
and ^play your hand upon me.
6 ^qSuch knowledge is ^rtoo wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 ^sWhere shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where ^tshall I flee from your presence?
8 ^uIf I ascend to heaven, you are there!
^vIf I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall ^wlead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, ^x“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 ^yeven the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you ^zformed my inward parts;
you ^aaknitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. ^{▼▼Or for I am fearfully set apart}
^acWonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 ^adMy frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in ^aethe depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^afbook were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your ^agthoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 ^ahIf I would count them, they are more than ^aithe sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
19 Oh that you would ^ajslay the wicked, O God!
O ^akmen of blood, ^aldepart from me!
20 They ^amspeak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies ^antake your name in vain. ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks your name}
21 ^apDo I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not ^aqloathe those who ^arrise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
^asTry me and know my thoughts! ^{▼▼Or cares}
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and ^aulead me in ^avthe way everlasting! ^{▼▼Or in the ancient way (compare Jeremiah 6:16)}

Luke 16:15

15 And he said to them, “You are those who ^axjustify yourselves before men, but ^ayGod knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men ^azis an abomination in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 11:11

11 And why? ^baBecause I do not love you? ^bbGod knows I do!
