1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1LORD, you have searched me and known me.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2You know when I sit down and when I stand up; you understand my thoughts from far away.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You observe my travels and my rest; you are aware of all my ways.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Before a word is on my tongue, you know all about it, LORD.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5You have encircled me; you have placed your hand on me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6This wondrous knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Where can I go to escape your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9If I live at the eastern horizon or settle at the western limits,
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10even there your hand will lead me; your right hand will hold on to me.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light around me will be night"--
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12even the darkness is not dark to you. The night shines like the day; darkness and light are alike to you.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17God, how precious your thoughts are to me; how vast their sum is!
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18If I counted them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; when I wake up, I am still with you.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19God, if only you would kill the wicked--you bloodthirsty men, stay away from me--
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20who invoke you deceitfully. Your enemies swear by you falsely.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21LORD, don't I hate those who hate you, and detest those who rebel against you?
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22I hate them with extreme hatred; I consider them my enemies.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the everlasting way.
