|
|
|
1 |
O LORD, You have
searched me and known me. |
|
|
2 |
You know my sitting
down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
|
|
3 |
You comprehend my
path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
|
|
4 |
For there is not a
word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
|
|
5 |
You have hedged me
behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
|
|
6 |
Such knowledge is
too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
|
|
7 |
Where can I go from
Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
|
|
8 |
If I ascend into
heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
|
|
9 |
If I take the wings
of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
|
|
10 |
Even there Your hand
shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
|
|
11 |
If I say, “Surely
the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
|
|
12 |
Indeed, the darkness
shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
|
|
13 |
For You formed my
inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
|
|
14 |
I will praise You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
|
|
15 |
My frame was not
hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
|
|
16 |
Your eyes saw my
substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
|
|
17 |
How precious also
are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
|
|
18 |
If I should count
them,
they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
|
|
19 |
Oh, that You would
slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
|
|
20 |
For they speak
against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
|
|
21 |
Do I not hate them,
O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
|
|
22 |
I hate them with
perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
|
|
23 |
Search me, O God,
and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
|
|
24 |
And see if there is
any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
