For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1
O Jehovah, thou hast searched
me, and known [me].
2
Thou knowest my downsitting
and mine uprising;
Thou understandest my thought afar off.
3
Thou searchest out my path
and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
4
For there is not a word in my
tongue,
But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5
Thou hast beset me behind and
before,
And laid thy hand upon me.
6
[Such] knowledge is too
wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7
Whither shall I go from thy
Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8
If I ascend up into heaven,
thou art there:
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.
9
If I take the wings of the
morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10
Even there shall thy hand
lead me,
And thy right hand shall hold me.
11
If I say, Surely the darkness
shall overwhelm me,
And the light about me shall be night;
12
Even the darkness hideth not
from thee,
But the night shineth as the day:
The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].
13
For thou didst form my inward
parts:
Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
14
I will give thanks unto thee;
for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works;
And that my soul knoweth right well.
15
My frame was not hidden from
thee,
When I was made in secret,
[And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16
Thine eyes did see mine
unformed substance;
And in thy book they were all written,
[Even] the days that were ordained [for me],
When as yet there was none of them.
17
How precious also are thy
thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18
If I should count them, they
are more in number than
the sand:
When I awake, I am still with thee.
19
Surely thou wilt slay the
wicked, O God:
Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
2
0 For they speak against thee
wickedly,
And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.
21
Do not I hate them, O
Jehovah, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22
I hate them with perfect
hatred:
They are become mine enemies.
23
Search me, O God, and know my
heart:
Try me, and know my thoughts;
24
And see if there be any
wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
