1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O 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 understand my thought from afar. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can 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, behold, You are there. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm 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, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20For they speak against You wickedly, And 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 the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. |
