"Seeking that which was lost"

Psalm 139

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1  O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2  Thou knowest cmy downsitting and dmine uprising,

Thou understandest my thought afar off.

3  Thou compassest 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 LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5  Thou hast beset me behind and before,

And laid thine hand upon me.

6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7  Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8  If I ascend up into heaven, 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 uttermost parts of the sea;

10  Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

11  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;

Even the night shall be light about me.

12  Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee;

But the night shineth as the day:

The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
