[an error occurred while processing this directive] Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
[an error occurred while processing this directive]International Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1LORD, you have examined me; you have known me.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2You know when I rest and when I am active. You understand what I am thinking when I am distant from you.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You scrutinize my life and my rest; you are familiar with all of my ways.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Even before I have formed a word with my tongue, you, LORD, know it completely!
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5You encircle me from back to front, placing your hand upon me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Knowledge like this is too amazing for me. It is beyond my reach, and I cannot fathom it.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Where can I flee from your spirit? Or where will I run from your presence?
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8If I rise to heaven, there you are! If I lay down with the dead, there you are!
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9If I take wings with the dawn and settle down on the western horizon
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10your hand will guide me there, too, while your right hand keeps a firm grip on me.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11If I say, "Darkness will surely conceal me, and the light around me will become night,"
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12even darkness isn't dark to you, darkness and light are the same to you.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13It was you who formed my internal organs, fashioning me within my mother's womb.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I praise you, because you are fearful and wondrous! Your work is wonderful, and I am fully aware of it.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15My frame was not hidden from you while I was being crafted in a hidden place, knit together in the depths of the earth.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Your eyes looked upon my embryo, and everything was recorded in your book. The days scheduled for my formation were inscribed, even though not one of them had come yet.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17How deep are your thoughts, God! How great is their number!
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Were I to count them, they would number more than the sand. When I awake, I will be with you.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19God, if only you would execute the wicked, so that the men guilty of bloodshed would get away from me,
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20who speak against you with evil motives, your enemies who are acting in vain.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21I hate those who hate you, LORD, do I not? I loathe those who rebel against you, do I not ?
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22With consummate hatred I hate them; I consider them my enemies.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Examine me, God, and know my mind, test me, and know my thoughts.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24See if there is any offensive tendency in me, and lead me in the eternal way.
