139 O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.
² Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;
Thou understandest my thought afar off.
³ Thou ^[a]searchest out my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue,
But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
⁵ Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid thy hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

¹³ For thou didst form my ^[a]inward parts:
Thou didst ^[b]cover me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works;
And that my soul knoweth right well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee,
When I was made in secret,
And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
¹⁶ Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;
And in thy book they were all written,
Even the days that were ordained for me,
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.
