Young's Literal Translation
O
lord
, thou hast searched me, and known
me
.
To
the
Overseer.
--
A
Psalm
by
David.
Jehovah
, Thou hast searched me, and knowest
.
Thou knowest
my downsitting
and mine
uprising
, thou understandest
my thought
afar off
.
Thou --
Thou
hast
known
my sitting
down,
And my
rising
up
, Thou hast
attended
to
my thoughts
from
afar.
Thou
compassest
my path and my lying
down
, and art
acquainted
with all my ways.
My path and my couch
Thou
hast
fanned
, And `
with '
all my ways hast
been
acquainted
.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but,
lo, O LORD
, thou knowest
it altogether.
For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah
, Thou hast
known
it all!
Thou
hast
beset
me
behind and before, and laid
thine
hand
upon
me.
Behind and before Thou
hast
besieged
me
, And Thou
dost
place
on
me Thy
hand
.
Such
knowledge is
too wonderful for me ;
it is
high, I cannot
attain
unto
it.
Knowledge too wonderful for me ,
It hath
been
set
on
high, I am
not
able
for
it.
Whither shall
I go from thy spirit? or
whither shall
I
flee
from thy presence
?
Whither do
I go from Thy Spirit? And
whither from Thy face
do
I
flee
?
If I ascend up
into
heaven,
thou art there:
if
I
make
my
bed
in hell
, behold
, thou
art
there.
If I ascend the
heavens
--
there
Thou `
art ',
And
spread
out
a
couch
in Sheol
, lo
, Thee!
If
I take the wings of the
morning, and
dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea ;
I take the wings of morning, I
dwell in the uttermost part
of the sea ,
Even
there shall
thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall
hold me.
Also
there Thy hand doth
lead me, And Thy right hand doth
hold me.
If
I say, Surely the
darkness shall
cover
me ;
even
the
night shall
be
light about
me.
And
I say, `
Surely darkness bruiseth
me ,
Then
night `is'
light to
me.
Yea,
the
darkness hideth not from thee ;
but
the
night shineth
as the
day :
the
darkness and
the
light are
both
alike
to
thee
.
Also
darkness hideth not from Thee ,
And
night as day shineth,
as
`is'
darkness so
`is'
light.
For thou hast possessed my reins :
thou hast
covered
me in my mother's womb
.
For Thou --
Thou
hast possessed my reins ,
Thou dost
cover
me in my mother's belly
.
I will
praise
thee ;
for
I am
fearfully
and
wonderfully
made:
marvellous
are thy works ;
and that
my soul knoweth
right
well.
I confess
Thee ,
because
that
`with'
wonders
I have
been
distinguished.
Wonderful
`
are '
Thy works ,
And my soul is
knowing
`it'
well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest
parts
of the
earth.
My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower
part
of earth.
Thine eyes did
see
my
substance
, yet
being
unperfect;
and in
thy book all my
members
were
written, which
in
continuance
were fashioned,
when
as
yet
there
was
none
of
them.
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.
How precious also
are
thy thoughts unto
me
, O God !
how great is
the
sum of
them
!
And
to
me
how precious have
been
Thy thoughts, O God ,
how great hath
been
their
sum!
If
I should
count
them ,
they
are
more
in
number
than the sand :
when
I awake
, I am still with thee.
I recount
them !
than the sand they
are
more,
I have
waked
, and
I am still with Thee.
Surely
thou wilt
slay the
wicked
, O God :
depart
from
me
therefore
, ye
bloody
men .
Dost
Thou slay, O God, the
wicked?
Then,
men of
blood,
turn
aside
from
me!
For
they
speak
against
thee wickedly
, and
thine enemies take
thy
name
in
vain
.
Who
exchange
Thee for
wickedness
, Lifted
up
to
vanity
`are'
Thine enemies.
Do not I hate them
, O
LORD
, that
hate
thee? and am
not
I
grieved
with those
that
rise
up
against
thee
?
Do not I hate, Jehovah
, those
hating
Thee? And with Thy
withstanders
grieve
myself
?
I
hate
them
with perfect hatred :
I count
them mine
enemies.
`
With '
perfect hatred I have
hated
them ,
Enemies they
have
become
to
me
.
Search me, O God, and know my heart :
try me, and know my thoughts :
Search me, O God, and know my heart ,
Try me, and know my thoughts ,
And see if there
be
any
wicked
way in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting.
And see if a
grievous
way be
in me, And lead me in a
way age-during!
