Psalm 139

1 O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,4 For there is not a word in my tongue,5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:9 If I take the wings of the morning,10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me,12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee,13 For thou didst form my inward parts:14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:15 My frame was not hidden from thee,16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:20 For they speak against thee wickedly,21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?22 I hate them with perfect hatred:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,

Psalm 140

1 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man;2 Who devise mischiefs in their heart;3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;

4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;

6 I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God:7 O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation,8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked;

9 As for the head of those that compass me about,10 Let burning coals fall upon them:11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth:12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted,13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:

Psalm 141

1 Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me:2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee;3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth;4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing,5 Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness;6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock;7 As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth,8 For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord:9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
