1
O
L
ORD
,
thou hast searched me, and known
me
.
2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3
Thou compassest 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
L
ORD
, thou knowest it altogether.
5
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6
Such
knowledge
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 hell, 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 cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light
are
both alike
to thee
.
13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully
and
wonderfully made: marvellous
are
thy works; and
that
my soul knoweth right well.
15
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all
my members
were written,
which
in continuance were fashioned, when
as yet there was
none of them.
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 bloody men.
20
For they speak against thee wickedly,
and
thine enemies take
thy name
in vain.
21
Do not I hate them, O
L
ORD
, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them 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.
