Psalm 139:1-6

English Standard Version

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!
²You ^(B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you ^(C)discern my thoughts from afar.
³You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, ^(D)you know it altogether.
⁵You ^(E)hem me in, behind and before,
    and ^(F)lay your hand upon me.
⁶^(G)Such knowledge is ^(H)too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

Psalm 139:13-16

English Standard Version

¹³For you ^(A)formed my inward parts;
    you ^(B)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
¹⁴I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.^[a]
^(C)Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
¹⁵^(D)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in ^(E)the depths of the earth.
¹⁶Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^(F)book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.
