- 1. To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
- 2. Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.
- 3. My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And `with' all my ways hast been acquainted.
- 4. For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
- 5. Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.
- 6. Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
- 7. Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?
- 8. If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou `art', And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!
- 9. I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
- 10. Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.
- 11. And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night `is' light to me.
- 12. Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as `is' darkness so `is' light.
- 13. For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.
- 14. I confess Thee, because that `with' wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful `are' Thy works, And my soul is knowing `it' well.
- 15. My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.
- 16. Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.
- 17. And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
- 18. I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
- 19. Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
- 20. Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity `are' Thine enemies.
- 21. Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
- 22. `With' perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
- 23. Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
- 24. And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
