1	לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר יְהוָ֥ה חֲ֝קַרְתַּ֗נִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃	O LORD, you have searched me and known me!	For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
2	אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּ֣י וְקוּמִ֑י בַּ֥נְתָּה לְ֝רֵעִ֗י מֵרָחֽוֹק׃	You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.	You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3	אָרְחִ֣י וְרִבְעִ֣י זֵרִ֑יתָ וְֽכָל־ דְּרָכַ֥י הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃	You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.	You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4	כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין מִ֭לָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִ֑י הֵ֥ן יְ֝הוָ֗ה יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃	Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.	Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
5	אָח֣וֹר וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה׃	You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.	You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6	[פלאיה] (פְּלִ֣יאָֽה) דַ֣עַת מִמֶּ֑נִּי נִ֝שְׂגְּבָ֗ה לֹא־ א֥וּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃	Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.	Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7	אָ֭נָ֥ה אֵלֵ֣ךְ מֵרוּחֶ֑ךָ וְ֝אָ֗נָה מִפָּנֶ֥יךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃	Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?	Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8	אִם־ אֶסַּ֣ק שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑תָּה וְאַצִּ֖יעָה שְּׁא֣וֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃	If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!	If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9	אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי־ שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם׃	If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,	If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10	גַּם־ שָׁ֭ם יָדְךָ֣ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃	even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.	even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11	וָ֭אֹמַר אַךְ־ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה א֣וֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃	If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”	If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
12	גַּם־ חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא־ יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיּ֣וֹם יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃	even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.	even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13	כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ כִלְיֹתָ֑י תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗נִי בְּבֶ֣טֶן אִמִּֽי׃	For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.	For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14	אֽוֹדְךָ֗ עַ֤ל כִּ֥י נוֹרָא֗וֹת נִ֫פְלֵ֥יתִי נִפְלָאִ֥ים מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יֹדַ֥עַת מְאֹֽד׃	I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.	I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15	לֹא־ עָצְמִ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ אֲשֶׁר־ עֻשֵּׂ֥יתִי בַסֵּ֑תֶר רֻ֝קַּ֗מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת אָֽרֶץ׃	My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.	My 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	גָּלְמִ֤י ׀ רָ֘א֤וּ עֵינֶ֗יךָ וְעַֽל־ סִפְרְךָ֮ כֻּלָּ֪ם יִכָּ֫תֵ֥בוּ יָמִ֥ים יֻצָּ֑רוּ [ולא] (וְל֖וֹ) אֶחָ֣ד בָּהֶֽם׃	Your 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.	Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17	וְלִ֗י מַה־ יָּקְר֣וּ רֵעֶ֣יךָ אֵ֑ל מֶ֥ה עָ֝צְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃	How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!	How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18	אֶ֭סְפְּרֵם מֵח֣וֹל יִרְבּ֑וּן הֱ֝קִיצֹ֗תִי וְעוֹדִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ׃	If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.	Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.
19	אִם־ תִּקְטֹ֖ל אֱל֥וֹהַּ ׀ רָשָׁ֑ע וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים ס֣וּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃	Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!	If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20	אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹ֭אמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּ֑ה נָשֻׂ֖א לַשָּׁ֣וְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃	They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain.	They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21	הֲלֽוֹא־ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקוֹמְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃	Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?	Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22	תַּכְלִ֣ית שִׂנְאָ֣ה שְׂנֵאתִ֑ים לְ֝אוֹיְבִ֗ים הָ֣יוּ לִֽי׃	I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.	I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23	חָקְרֵ֣נִי אֵ֭ל וְדַ֣ע לְבָבִ֑י בְּ֝חָנֵ֗נִי וְדַ֣ע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃	Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!	Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24	וּרְאֵ֗ה אִם־ דֶּֽרֶךְ־ עֹ֥צֶב בִּ֑י וּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עוֹלָֽם׃	And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!	See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
