[an error occurred while processing this directive] Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
[an error occurred while processing this directive]New International Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand-- when I awake, I am still with you.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
