1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. 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 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 extraordinary 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 wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, 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 difficult Your thoughts are for me to comprehend; 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] | 21 LORD, 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. |
