- 1. O Lord, thou hast searched mee, and knowen me.
- 2. Thou knowest my downe sitting, and mine vprising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off.
- 3. Thou compassest my path, and my lying downe, and art acquainted with all my wayes.
- 4. For there is not a worde in my tongue: but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
- 5. Thou hast beset me behind, and before: and laid thine hand vpon me.
- 6. Such knowledge is too wonderfull for me: it is high, I cannot attaine vnto it.
- 7. Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? or whither shall I flie from thy presence?
- 8. If I ascend vp into heauen, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
- 9. If I take the wings of the morning: and dwell in the vttermost parts of the Sea:
- 10. Euen there shall thy hand leade me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
- 11. If I say, Surely the darkenes shall couer me: euen the night shall bee light about me.
- 12. Yea the darkenesse hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darknes and the light are both alike to thee.
- 13. For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe.
- 14. I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderfully made, marueilous are thy works: and that my soule knoweth right well.
- 15. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret: and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
- 16. Thine eyes did see my substance yet being vnperfect, and in thy booke all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned: when as yet there was none of them.
- 17. Howe precious also are thy thoughts vnto me, O God: how great is the summe of them?
- 18. If I should count them, they are moe in number then the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
- 19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
- 20. For they speake against thee wickedly: and thine enemies take thy name in vaine.
- 21. Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieued with those that rise vp against thee?
- 22. I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
- 23. Search me, O God, and knowe my heart: trie mee, and knowe my thoughts:
- 24. And see if there bee any wicked way in me: and leade me in the way euerlasting.
