[an error occurred while processing this directive] Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
[an error occurred while processing this directive]English Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8If I ascend 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 take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
