- 1. ¶ O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me.
- 2. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts from above.
- 3. Thou knowest my way and my paths, and art acquainted with all my ways.
- 4. For if there is deception in my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
- 5. From the beginning to the end, thou knowest me, O LORD, for thou hast formed and laid thy hand upon me.
- 6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
- 7. ¶ Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
- 8. If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I descend into Sheol, behold, thou art there also.
- 9. If I lift up my wings like those of an eagle, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
- 10. Even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
- 11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall be as light upon me; even the night shall be light before my face.
- 12. The darkness shall not be dark to thee; but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
- 13. For thou hast made my heart; thou hast accepted me from my mother’s womb.
- 14. I will praise thee, because of the wonders which thou hast done; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well.
- 15. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and marvellously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
- 16. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and upon thy books all these things were written, even before day was and man was brought into existence.
- 17. ¶ How precious also are thy mercies to me, O God! How great is the sum of them?
- 18. If I should count the best of them, they are more in number than the grains of sand; when I awake I am still with thee.
- 19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
- 20. For they speak against thee, and have taken thy city without cause.
- 21. I hate them, O LORD, who hate thee; and I am grieved with those who rise up against thee.
- 22. I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies.
- 23. Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my ways,
- 24. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
