Psalm CXXXIX
Author: N. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #CXXXIX (1790) First Line: O Lord thou hast me try'd and known Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast me try'd and known,
my sitting down dost know,
My rising up and thoughts far off
thou understand'st also.
2 My path, yea, and my bed likewise
thou art about always:
And by familiar custom art
acquainted with my ways.
3 No word is in my tongue, O Lord,
that is not known to thee;
Thou hast beset me round about,
and laid thy hand on me.
4 Such knowledge is too wonderful,
and past my skill to gain;
It is so high, that I unto
the same cannot attain.
5 From thy all-seeing spirit then,
Lord, whither should I go?
Or whither shall I fly away
from thy presence also?
6 For if to heaven I climb up,
lo, thou art present there;
In hell if I lie down below,
even there thou dost appear,
7 Yea, let me take the morning wings,
and let me go and dwell
Even in the very utmost parts
where flowing sea doth swell.
8 Yet certainly there also shall
thy hand me lead and guide:
And thy right-hand shall hold me fast,
and make me to abide.
9 Or if I say, the darkness shall
shroud me quite from thy sight:
Ev'n then the night that is most dark
about me shall be light.
10 The darkness hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day;
To thee the darkness and the light,
are both alike alway.
The Second Part.
11 For thou possessed hast my reins,
and thou did'st cover me,
Within my mother's womb, when I
was there enclos'd by thee.
12 Thee will I praise; made fearfully
and wondrously I am:
Thy works are marvelous, right well
my soul doth know the same.
13 My bones they are not hid from thee,
altho' in secret place
I have been made, and in the earth
beneath I shaped was.
14 When I was formless, then thy eye
saw me; for in thy book
Were all my members written, and
nought after fashion took.
15 The thoughts therefore of thee, O God,
how dear are they to me:
And of them all how very great
the endless numbers be?
16 If I should count them, lo, their sum
more than the sand they be;
And whensoever I awake,
I present am with thee.
17 The wicked and ungodly thou
most certainly wilt slay:
Therefore now, all ye bloody men,
depart from me away.
18 These are the men, O Lord, who speak
most wickedly of thee:
And take thy Name in vain, because
thy enemies they be.
19 Hate I not them that hate thee, Lord,
and that in earnest wise?
Am I not grieved with all those
that up against thee rise?
20 I hate them with a perfect hate,
even as my utter foes:
Try me, O Lord, and know my heart,
my thoughts prove and disclose.
21 Consider, Lord, if wickedness
in me there any be:
And in thy way, O God, my guide,
for ever lead thou me. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
Psalm CXXXIX
Domine probasti
Author: N. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #82 (1640) First Line: O Lord thou hast me try'd and known Lyrics: 1 O Lord thou hast me try'dd and known,
my sitting down dost know,
2 And rising eke, my thoughts afarre
thou understand'st also.
3 My paths, yea and my lying down
thou compassest alwaies:
And by familiar custome art
acquainted with my waies.
4 No word is in my tongue, O Lord,
but known it is to thee:
5 Thou me behind hold'st and before,
thou lay'st thine hand on me.
6 Too wonderfull above my reach,
Lord is thy cunning skill:
It is so high, that I the same
cannot attaine untill.
7 From sight of thy all-seeing Spirit,
Lord, whither shall I go?
Or whither shall I flee away,
thy presence to scape fro?
8 To Heaven if I mount aloft,
1o thou art present there:
In hell if I lie downe below,
even there thou dost appear/
9 Yea let me take the morning wings,
and let me goe and hide
Even there where are the farthest parts,
where flowing sea doth slide.
10 Yet even thither also shall
thy reaching hand me guide:
And thy right hand shall hold me fast,
and make me to abide.
11 Yea, if I say, the darknesse shall
yet shroud me from thy sight,
Lo even also the darkest night
about me shall be light.
12 Yea darknesse hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day.
To thee the darknesse and the light,
are both alike alway.
The second Part:
13 For thou possessed hast my reines,
and thou hast covered me,
When I within my mothers wombe
inclosed was by thee.
14 Thee will I praise, made fearfully,
and wondrously I am:
Thy works are marvellous, right well
my soule doth know the same.
15 My bones they are not hid from thee,
although in secret place
I have been made and in the earth
beneath I shaped was.
16 When I was formlesse, then thine eye
saw me, for in thy book
Were written all, nought was before,
that after fashion took.
17 The thoughts therefore of thee O God,
how deare are they to me?
And of them all how passing great
the endlesse number be!
18 If I should count them 1o their summe
more than the sand I see:
And whensoever I awake
yet am I still with thee.
19 The wicked and the bloudy men,
O that thou woldest slay:
Even those O God, to whom depart,
depart from me I say.
20 Even those of thee (O Lord my God)
that speak full wickedly:
Those that are lifted up in vaine,
being enemies to thee.
21 Hate I not them that hate thee Lord,
and that in earnest wise
Contend I not against them all,
against them that rise?
22 I hate them with unfainted hate,
even as my utter foes:
23 Trie me (O God) and know my heart,
my thoughts prove and disclose.
24 Consider Lord if wickednesse
in me there any be:
And in thy way (O God my guide)
for ever lead thou me. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
