b'Psalm 139\\nFor the Music Director. A Psalm of David.\\n1 O Lord, You have searched me\\n and known me.\\n2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;\\n You understand my thought from far off.\\n3 You search my path and my lying down\\n and are aware of all my ways.\\n4 For there is not a word on my tongue,\\n but behold, O Lord, You know it fully.\\n\\n5 You put Yourself behind and before me,\\n and keep Your hand on me.\\n6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;\\n it is lofty, and I cannot fathom it.\\n\\n7 Where shall I go from Your spirit,\\n or where shall I flee from Your presence?\\n8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;\\n if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.\\n9 If I take the wings of the morning\\n and dwell at the end of the sea,\\n10 even there Your hand shall guide me,\\n and Your right hand shall take hold of me.\\n11 If I say, \\u201cSurely the darkness shall cover me,\\n and the light shall be as night about me,\\u201d\\n12 even the darkness is not dark to You,\\n but the night shines as the day,\\n for the darkness is like light to You.\\n\\n13 You brought my inner parts into being;\\n You wove me in my mother\\u2019s womb.\\n14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;\\n marvelous are Your works,\\n and You know me completely.\\n15 My frame was not hidden from You\\n when I was made in secret,\\nand intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.\\n16 Your eyes saw me unformed,\\nyet in Your book\\n all my days were written,\\n before any of them came into being.\\n17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!\\n How great is the sum of them!\\n18 If I should count them,\\n they are more in number than the sand;\\nwhen I awake,\\n I am still with You.\\n\\n19 If only You would slay the wicked, O God!\\n O violent men, depart from me.\\n20 For they speak against You with malice,\\n and Your enemies take your name in vain.\\n21 Do I not hate those, O Lord, who hate You?\\n And do I not abhor those who rise up against You?\\n22 I hate them with perfect hatred;\\n I count them my enemies.\\n\\n23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;\\n try me, and know my concerns,\\n24 and see if there is any rebellious way in me,\\n and lead me in the ancient way.'
