O LORD, You have asearched me and known me.
2You aknow 1when I sit down and 2when I rise up; You bunderstand my thought from afar.
3You 1 ascrutinize my 2path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
41Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You aknow it all.
5You have aenclosed me behind and before, And blaid Your hand upon me.
6Such aknowledge is btoo wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
7aWhere can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8aIf I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in 1Sheol, behold, bYou are there.
9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10Even there Your hand will alead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
11If I say, "Surely the adarkness will 1overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"
12Even the adarkness is not dark 1to You, And the night is as bright as the day. bDarkness and light are alike to You.
13For You aformed my 1inward parts; You bwove me in my mother's womb.
14I will give thanks to You, for 1I am fearfully and wonderfully made; aWonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
15My 1 aframe was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the bdepths of the earth;
16Your aeyes have seen my unformed substance; And in bYour book were all written The cdays that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
17How precious also are Your athoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18If I should count them, they would aoutnumber the sand. When bI awake, I am still with You.
19O that You would aslay the wicked, O God; bDepart from me, therefore, cmen of bloodshed.
20For they aspeak 1against You wickedly, And Your enemies 2 btake Your name in vain.
21Do I not ahate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not bloathe those who rise up against You?
22I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies.
23aSearch me, O God, and know my heart; bTry me and know my anxious thoughts;
24And see if there be any 1 ahurtful way in me, And blead me in the ceverlasting way.
