- 139:7 Where could I go to get away from your Spirit? Where could I run to escape your presence? 17
- 139:14 I give you thanks, for the way I was made is awe-inspiring and marvelous. What you make is wonderful, and deep within I know it well. 17
- 139:8 Should I climb up to the heavens, you are there; should I lie down in Sheol, there you are as well. 12
- 139:16 Your eyes saw me while I was still unshaped; in your book they were all written down, the days that were shaped for me, each one of them set in place. 9
- 139:1 For the music director. Of David. A psalm. LORD, you have looked deep into me, and you know me. 7
- 139:13 It was you who made the deepest parts of me; you wove my body together while I was still in my mother's womb. 7
- 139:9 If I take flight on the wings of the dawn and go to live beyond the farthest sea, 6
- 139:10 there too your hand would be leading me, and your right hand would take hold of me. 6
- 139:15 Not one of my bones was hidden from you as I was being formed out of sight, worked like fine embroidery deep within the earth. 4

- 139:4 No word is yet on my tongue, and already, LORD, you know the whole of it. 3
- 139:24 Look and see whether I am on a path that brings harm, and guide me along the road that never ends. 3
- 139:3 When I travel and when I lie down, you sift through it all; every path I take is well known to you. 2
- 139:5 You close me in from behind and from in front; you have placed your hand on me. 2
- 139:6 Knowledge like this is beyond me, too wonderful; it towers so high that I cannot reach it. 2
- 139:11 If I tell myself that the darkness will surely overwhelm me and the light around me will turn to night, 2
- 139:12 even the darkness hides nothing from you; night shines as bright as day, and dark and light are the same to you. 2
- 139:17 God, how I treasure your thoughts! How immense their number is! 2
- 139:2 Whether I sit down or get up, you know it; even from far away you grasp what I am thinking. 1
