Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

139 O Lord, you have (A)searched me and known me!
You (B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you (C)discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, (D)you know it altogether.

11 If I say, (A)“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
12 (B)even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    (A)Try me and know my thoughts![a]
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and (B)lead me in (C)the way everlasting![b]
