    Psalms 139
    • 1   O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and knownme.
    • 2   Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.
    • 3   Thou searchest out 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 Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
    • 5   Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me.
    • 6   Suchknowledge 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 Sheol, 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 overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;
    • 12   Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both aliketo thee.
    • 13   For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.
    • 14   I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
    • 15   My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
    • 16   Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Eventhe days that were ordainedfor me, When as yet there was none of them.
    • 17   How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
    • 18   If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.
    • 19   Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
    • 20   For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take thy name in vain.
    • 21   Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
    • 22   I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.
    • 23   Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;
    • 24   And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
