To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
- O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
- You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
- You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
- Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
- You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
- Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
- Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
- If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
- If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
- even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
- If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
- even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
- For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
- I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
- My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
- 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.
- How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
- If I would count them,
they are more than the sand.
I awake,
and I am still with you.
…
- Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
- And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
