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