Psalms 139:1-4 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.

2 Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

3 My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And `with' all my ways hast been acquainted.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

PSALM 139

Ps 139:1-24. After presenting the sublime doctrines of God's omnipresence and omniscience, the Psalmist appeals to Him, avowing his innocence, his abhorrence of the wicked, and his ready submission to the closest scrutiny. Admonition to the wicked and comfort to the pious are alike implied inferences from these doctrines.
