Psalms 139:1-24 King James Version with Strong's Concordance (STRONG)

1 [[To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 of David.]] H1732 O LORD, H3068 thou hast searched H2713 me, and known H3045 me.

2 Thou knowest H3045 my downsitting H3427 and mine uprising, H6965 thou understandest H995 my thought H7454 afar off. H7350

3 Thou compassest H2219 my path H734 and my lying down, H7252 and art acquainted H5532 with all my ways. H1870

4 For there is not a word H4405 in my tongue, H3956 but, lo, O LORD, H3068 thou knowest H3045 it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset H6696 me behind H268 and before, H6924 and laid H7896 thine hand H3709 upon me.

6 Such knowledge H1847 is too wonderful H6383 H6383 for me; it is high, H7682 I cannot H3201 attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go H3212 from thy spirit? H7307 or whither shall I flee H1272 from thy presence? H6440

8 If I ascend up H5266 into heaven, H8064 thou art there: if I make my bed H3331 in hell, H7585 behold, thou art there.

9 If I take H5375 the wings H3671 of the morning, H7837 and dwell H7931 in the uttermost parts H319 of the sea; H3220

10 Even there shall thy hand H3027 lead H5148 me, and thy right hand H3225 shall hold H270 me.

11 If I say, H559 Surely the darkness H2822 shall cover H7779 me; even the night H3915 shall be light H216 about me. H1157

12 Yea, the darkness H2822 hideth H2821 not from thee; but the night H3915 shineth H215 as the day: H3117 the darkness H2825 and the light H219 are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed H7069 my reins: H3629 thou hast covered H5526 me in my mother's H517 womb. H990

14 I will praise H3034 thee; for I am fearfully H3372 and wonderfully made: H6395 marvellous H6381 are thy works; H4639 and that my soul H5315 knoweth H3045 right well. H3966

15 My substance H6108 was not hid H3582 from thee, when I was made H6213 in secret, H5643 and curiously wrought H7551 in the lowest parts H8482 of the earth. H776

16 Thine eyes H5869 did see H7200 my substance, yet being unperfect; H1564 and in thy book H5612 all my members were written, H3789 which in continuance H3117 were fashioned, H3335 when as yet there was none H259 of them.

17 How precious H3365 also are thy thoughts H7454 unto me, O God! H410 how great H6105 is the sum H7218 of them!

18 If I should count H5608 them, they are more in number H7235 than the sand: H2344 when I awake, H6974 I am still H5750 with thee.

19 Surely thou wilt slay H6991 the wicked, H7563 O God: H433 depart H5493 from me therefore, ye bloody H1818 men. H582

20 For they speak H559 against thee wickedly, H4209 and thine enemies H6145 take H5375 thy name in vain. H7723

21 Do not I hate H8130 them, O LORD, H3068 that hate H8130 thee? and am not I grieved H6962 with those that rise up H8618 against thee?

22 I hate H8130 them with perfect H8503 hatred: H8135 I count them mine enemies. H341

23 Search H2713 me, O God, H410 and know H3045 my heart: H3824 try H974 me, and know H3045 my thoughts: H8312

24 And see H7200 if there be any wicked H6090 way H1870 in me, and lead H5148 me in the way H1870 everlasting. H5769

Commentary on Psalms 139 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible


PSALM 139

Ps 139:1-24. After presenting the sublime doctrines of God's omnipresence and omniscience, the Psalmist appeals to Him, avowing his innocence, his abhorrence of the wicked, and his ready submission to the closest scrutiny. Admonition to the wicked and comfort to the pious are alike implied inferences from these doctrines.
