O
LORD, thou hast
searched me, and
known me.

Thou
knowest my
downsitting and mine
uprising, thou
understandest my
thought afar
off.

Thou
compassest my
path and my lying
down, and art
acquainted with all my
ways.

For there is not a
word in my
tongue, but, lo, O
LORD, thou
knowest it altogether.

Thou hast
beset me
behind and
before, and
laid thine
hand upon me.

Such
knowledge is too
wonderful* for me; it is
high, I
cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I
go from thy
spirit? or whither shall I
flee from thy
presence?

If I ascend
up into
heaven, thou art there: if I make my
bed in
hell, behold, thou art there.

If I
take the

dwell in the uttermost
parts of the
sea;

Even there shall thy

hold me.

If I
say, Surely the
darkness shall
cover me; even the
night shall be
light about
me.

Yea, the
darkness hideth not from thee; but the
night shineth as the
day: the
darkness and the
light are both alike to thee.

For thou hast
possessed my

covered me in my
mother's womb.

I will
praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully
made:
marvellous are thy
works; and that my

well.

My
substance was not
hid from thee, when I was
made in

wrought in the lowest

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

If I should
count them, they are more in

Surely thou wilt

For they
speak against thee
wickedly, and thine

Do not I
hate them, O

hate thee? and am not I
grieved with those that rise
up against thee?

I

Search me, O

And
see if there be any
