O Jehovah
, thou
hast
searched me ,
and known `
me '
.
For
the
choirmaster.
A
Psalm
of
David.
O LORD
, You
have
searched me and known me.
Thou
knowest
my
downsitting
and mine
uprising
; Thou
understandest
my thought
afar off
.
You
know
when
I
sit
and when
I
rise
; You
understand
my thoughts
from
afar.
Thou
searchest
out my path and my lying down ,
And
art
acquainted
with
all my ways.
You
search
out my path and my lying down ;
You
are
aware
of
all my ways.
For
there
is
not
a word in
my tongue, But,
lo
, O Jehovah,
thou
knowest
it
altogether
.
Even
before
a word is
on
my tongue, You
know
all
about
it
, O LORD
.
Thou
hast
beset
me behind and before ,
And
laid thy
hand upon me.
You
hem
me in
behind and before ;
You
have
laid Your
hand upon me.
`
Such '
knowledge is too wonderful for me ;
It
is
high
, I
cannot
attain unto
it
.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too
lofty
for
me
to
attain.
Whither
shall
I go from
thy
Spirit? Or
whither
shall
I flee from thy
presence?
Where
can
I go to
escape
Your
Spirit? Where
can
I flee from Your
presence?
If I ascend up
into
heaven
, thou
art
there :
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold,
thou
art
there.
If I ascend to
the
heavens
, You
are
there ;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You
are
there.
If I take
the wings of the morning
, And
dwell
in
the
uttermost
parts
of
the sea ;
If I rise
on
the wings of the dawn
, if
I
settle
by
the farthest
sea ,
Even there shall
thy
hand lead
me ,
And
thy
right hand shall
hold me.
even there Your
hand will
guide
me ;
Your
right hand will
hold me fast
.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall
overwhelm
me, And the light about
me
shall
be
night ;
If I say, “
Surely the darkness will
hide
me, and the light become
night around
me”—
Even the darkness hideth
not from
thee
, But the night shineth
as
the day :
The
darkness and
the
light are
both
alike
`
to thee'
.
even the darkness is
not dark
to
You
, but the night shines
like
the day ,
for
darkness is
as
light to You
.
For thou
didst
form
my inward
parts:
Thou
didst
cover
me in my mother's
womb.
For You
formed
my inmost
being;
You
knit
me together
in my mother’s
womb.
I will
give
thanks
unto
thee;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made :
Wonderful
are thy
works ;
And that
my
soul
knoweth
right
well.
I praise
You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made .
Marvelous
are Your
works ,
and I
know
this
very
well.
My frame was not hidden from thee,
When I was made in secret, `And'
curiously
wrought
in the lowest
parts
of the earth.
My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in secret, when
I
was
woven
together
in the depths
of the earth.
Thine
eyes did
see
mine
unformed substance
; And
in
thy
book
they
were
all written,
`Even'
the
days that
were ordained `
for me ',
When
as
yet
there
was
none
of them.
Your
eyes saw
my
unformed body
; all my
days were written
in
Your
book
and
ordained for me before
one
of them came
to
be
.
How precious also
are thy
thoughts unto
me
, O God !
How great
is the
sum of
them
!
How precious to
me
are Your
thoughts, O God ,
how vast
is their
sum!
If I should
count them, they are
more
in
number
than
the sand :
When I awake, I am still with thee
.
If I were
to
count them, they would
outnumber
the grains
of
sand ;
and
when I awake, I am still with You
.
Surely
thou
wilt
slay the wicked ,
O
God:
Depart
from me therefore
, ye
bloodthirsty men .
O
God,
that
You
would
slay the wicked —
away
from me, you
bloodthirsty men —
For
they
speak against
thee
wickedly,
And
thine
enemies take `thy
name '
in vain.
who
speak of
You
deceitfully;
Your
enemies take Your
name in vain.
Do not
I hate them
, O Jehovah
, that
hate
thee?
And am
not
I
grieved
with
those that
rise up
against thee
?
Do I not
hate those
who
hate
You
, O LORD
, and detest
those who
rise against You
?
I hate them with perfect hatred :
They
are
become
mine
enemies.
I hate them with perfect hatred ;
I
count
them
as
my
enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart :
Try
me ,
and know my thoughts;
Search me, O God, and know my heart ;
test
me and know my concerns.
And
see if there be
any wicked
way in me ,
And
lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm
140
For
the
Chief
Musician.
A
Psalm
of
David.
See if there is
any offensive
way in me ;
lead me in the way everlasting.
