      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] 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 wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; | ||
| Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall 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 reins: thou hast 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 soul knoweth right well. | ||
| My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. | ||
| 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! | ||
| [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. | ||
| Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. | ||
| For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine enemies take [thy name] in vain. | ||
| Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? | ||
| I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. | ||
| Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: | ||
| And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
