To the chief Musician{H5329}{(H8764)}, A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}. O LORD{H3068}, thou hast searched{H2713}{(H8804)} me, and known{H3045}{(H8799)} me.

Thou knowest{H3045}{(H8804)} my downsitting{H3427}{(H8800)} and mine uprising{H6965}{(H8800)}, thou understandest{H995}{(H8804)} my thought{H7454} afar off{H7350}.

Thou compassest{H2219}{(H8765)} my path{H734} and my lying down{H7252}, and art acquainted{H5532}{(H8689)} with all my ways{H1870}.

For there is not a word{H4405} in my tongue{H3956}, but, lo, O LORD{H3068}, thou knowest{H3045}{(H8804)} it altogether.

Thou hast beset{H6696}{(H8804)} me behind{H268} and before{H6924}, and laid{H7896}{(H8799)} thine hand{H3709} upon me.

Such knowledge{H1847} is too wonderful{H6383}{(H8675)}{H6383} for me; it is high{H7682}{(H8738)}, I cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} attain unto it.

Whither shall I go{H3212}{(H8799)} from thy spirit{H7307}? or whither shall I flee{H1272}{(H8799)} from thy presence{H6440}?

If I ascend up{H5266}{(H8799)} into heaven{H8064}, thou art there: if I make my bed{H3331}{(H8686)} in hell{H7585}, behold, thou art there.

If I take{H5375}{(H8799)} the wings{H3671} of the morning{H7837}, and dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in the uttermost parts{H319} of the sea{H3220};

Even there shall thy hand{H3027} lead{H5148}{(H8686)} me, and thy right hand{H3225} shall hold{H270}{(H8799)} me.

If I say{H559}{(H8799)}, Surely the darkness{H2822} shall cover{H7779}{(H8799)} me; even the night{H3915} shall be light{H216} about me{H1157}.

Yea, the darkness{H2822} hideth{H2821}{(H8686)} not from thee; but the night{H3915} shineth{H215}{(H8686)} as the day{H3117}: the darkness{H2825} and the light{H219} are both alike to thee.

For thou hast possessed{H7069}{(H8804)} my reins{H3629}: thou hast covered{H5526}{(H8799)} me in my mother's{H517} womb{H990}.

I will praise{H3034}{(H8686)} thee; for I am fearfully{H3372}{(H8737)} and wonderfully made{H6395}{(H8738)}: marvellous{H6381}{(H8737)} are thy works{H4639}; and that my soul{H5315} knoweth{H3045}{(H8802)} right well{H3966}.

My substance{H6108} was not hid{H3582}{(H8738)} from thee, when I was made{H6213}{(H8795)} in secret{H5643}, and curiously wrought{H7551}{(H8795)} in the lowest parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}.

Thine eyes{H5869} did see{H7200}{(H8804)} my substance, yet being unperfect{H1564}; and in thy book{H5612} all my members were written{H3789}{(H8735)}, which in continuance{H3117} were fashioned{H3335}{(H8795)}, when as yet there was none{H259} of them.

How precious{H3365}{(H8804)} also are thy thoughts{H7454} unto me, O God{H410}! how great{H6105}{(H8804)} is the sum{H7218} of them!

If I should count{H5608}{(H8799)} them, they are more in number{H7235}{(H8799)} than the sand{H2344}: when I awake{H6974}{(H8689)}, I am still{H5750} with thee.

Surely thou wilt slay{H6991}{(H8799)} the wicked{H7563}, O God{H433}: depart{H5493}{(H8798)} from me therefore, ye bloody{H1818} men{H582}.

For they speak{H559}{(H8799)} against thee wickedly{H4209}, and thine enemies{H6145} take{H5375}{(H8804)} thy name in vain{H7723}.

Do not I hate{H8130}{(H8799)} them, O LORD{H3068}, that hate{H8130}{(H8764)} thee? and am not I grieved{H6962}{(H8709)} with those that rise up{H8618} against thee?

I hate{H8130}{(H8804)} them with perfect{H8503} hatred{H8135}: I count them mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}.

Search{H2713}{(H8798)} me, O God{H410}, and know{H3045}{(H8798)} my heart{H3824}: try{H974}{(H8798)} me, and know{H3045}{(H8798)} my thoughts{H8312}:

And see{H7200}{(H8798)} if there be any wicked{H6090} way{H1870} in me, and lead{H5148}{(H8798)} me in the way{H1870} everlasting{H5769}.
