1. |
O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.
|
|
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. |
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 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 alike to 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, Even the days that were ordained for 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.
