0 1 Dauid praiseth God for his all-seeing prouidence, 17 And for his infinite mercies. 19 He defieth the wicked. 23 Hee prayeth for sinceritie.

¶ To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.

CXXXIX ¶ O LORD, thou hast searched mee, and knowen me. 2 Thou knowest my downe sitting, and mine vprising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off. 3 [fn]Thou compassest my path, and my lying downe, and art acquainted with all my wayes. 4 For there is not a worde in my tongue: but lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind, and before: and laid thine hand vpon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderfull for me: it is high, I cannot attaine vnto it. 7 Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? or whither shall I flie from thy presence? 8 [fn]If I ascend vp into heauen, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning: and dwell in the vttermost parts of the Sea: 10 Euen there shall thy hand leade me: and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 [fn]If I say, Surely the darkenes shall couer me: euen the night shall bee light about me. 12 [fn][fn]Yea the darkenesse hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darknes and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe. 14 [fn]I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderfully made, marueilous are thy works: and that my soule knoweth right well. 15 [fn]My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret: and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 [fn][fn]Thine eyes did see my substance yet being vnperfect, and in thy booke all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned: when as yet there was none of them. 17 [fn]Howe precious also are thy thoughts vnto me, O God: how great is the summe of them? 18 If I should count them, they are moe in number then the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speake against thee wickedly: and thine enemies take thy name in vaine. 21 Doe not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieued with those that rise vp against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and knowe my heart: trie mee, and knowe my thoughts: 24 [fn]And see if there bee any wicked way in me: and leade me in the way euerlasting.
