(1) O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me.] (2) Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. (3) Thou compassest 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 LORD, thou knowest it altogether. (5) Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine 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 hell , 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 cover me; even the night shall be light about me. (12) Yea, 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 hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. (14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works ; and [that] my soul knoweth right well (15) My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth (16) 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. (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 bloody men. (20) For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine enemies take [thy name] in vain. (21) Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? (22) I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them 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
