O
LORD, You have
searched me and
known me.

You
know when I
sit down and when I
rise up; You
understand my
thought from
afar.

You
scrutinize my
path and my
lying down, And are
intimately acquainted with
all my
ways.

Even before
there is a
word on my
tongue,
Behold, O
LORD, You
know it
all.

You have
enclosed me
behind and
before, And
laid Your
hand upon me.

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

Where can I
go from Your
Spirit? Or
where can I
flee from Your
presence?

If I
ascend to
heaven, You are
there; If I
make my
bed in
Sheol,
behold, You are there.

If I
take the
wings of the
dawn, If I
dwell in the
remotest part of the
sea,

Even there Your
hand will
lead me, And Your
right hand will
lay hold of me.

If I
say,
"Surely the
darkness will
overwhelm me, And the
light around me will be
night,"

Even the
darkness is not
dark to You, And the
night is as
bright as the
day.
Darkness and
light are alike to You.

For You
formed my
inward parts; You
wove me in my
mother's womb.

I will
give thanks to You, for I am
fearfully and
wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your
works, And my
soul knows it
very well.

My
frame was not
hidden from You,
When I was
made in
secret, And
skillfully wrought in the
depths of the
earth;

Your
eyes have
seen my
unformed substance; And in Your
book were
all written The
days that were
ordained for me, When as yet there was not
one of them.

How precious also are Your

God!
How vast is the
sum of them!

If I should
count them, they would
outnumber the

awake, I am
still with You.

O that You would
slay the
wicked, O
God;
Depart from me, therefore,
men of
bloodshed.

For they
speak against You
wickedly, And Your
enemies take Your name in
vain.

Do I not
hate those who
hate You, O
LORD? And do I not
loathe those who
rise up against You?

I
hate them with the
utmost hatred; They have
become my
enemies.

Search me, O

know my
heart;
Try me and

anxious thoughts;

And
see if there be any

everlasting way.
