17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God! How vast is the sum of them! when I awake, I am still with you. 19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! your adversaries misuse your name. and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I count them my enemies. test me and know my anxious thoughts.

139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 1 O LORD, You have searched me . and known me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD. 5 You hem me in behind and before;

1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. your right hand will hold me fast. for darkness is as light to you. you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I know that full well. when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. before one of them came to be.

1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. And art acquainted with all my ways. But, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. And laid thine hand upon me. It is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

1O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You understand my thought afar off. And are acquainted with all my ways. But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. And laid Your hand upon me. It is high, I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I make my bed in [c] hell, behold, You are there.

Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
