LORD, You have searched me and You know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue, You, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before, and You lay Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?

How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with You. 19 If only You, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! 20 They speak of You with evil intent; Your adversaries misuse Your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate You, LORD, and detest those who rise up against You? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them as my enemies. 23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
