King James Version
To
the
Overseer.
--
A
Psalm
by
David.
Jehovah
, Thou hast searched me, and knowest
.
O
lord
, thou hast searched me, and known
me
.
Thou --
Thou
hast
known
my sitting
down,
And my
rising
up
, Thou hast
attended
to
my thoughts
from
afar.
Thou knowest
my downsitting
and mine
uprising
, thou understandest
my thought
afar off
.
My path and my couch
Thou
hast
fanned
, And `
with '
all my ways hast
been
acquainted
.
Thou
compassest
my path and my lying
down
, and art
acquainted
with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah
, Thou hast
known
it all!
For there is not a word in my tongue, but,
lo, O LORD
, thou knowest
it altogether.
Behind
and
before
Thou hast besieged
me, And Thou
dost
place
on
me
Thy
hand.
Thou hast beset
me behind
and
before
, and laid
thine
hand upon
me
.
Knowledge too wonderful for me ,
It hath
been
set
on
high, I am
not
able
for
it.
Such
knowledge is
too wonderful for me ;
it is
high, I cannot
attain
unto
it.
Whither do
I go from Thy Spirit? And
whither from
Thy
face
do
I flee?
Whither shall
I go from thy spirit? or
whither shall
I flee from
thy
presence
?
If I ascend the
heavens
--
there
Thou `
art ',
And
spread
out
a
couch
in Sheol
, lo
, Thee!
If I ascend up
into
heaven,
thou art there:
if
I
make
my
bed
in hell
, behold
, thou
art
there.
I take the wings of morning, I
dwell in the uttermost part
of the sea ,
If
I take the wings of the
morning, and
dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea ;
Also
there Thy hand doth
lead me, And Thy right hand doth
hold me.
Even
there shall
thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall
hold me.
And
I say, `
Surely darkness bruiseth
me ,
Then
night `is'
light to
me.
If
I say, Surely the
darkness shall
cover
me ;
even
the
night shall
be
light about
me.
Also
darkness hideth not from Thee ,
And
night as
day
shineth ,
as `is'
darkness so
`is'
light.
Yea,
the
darkness hideth not from thee ;
but
the
night shineth as the
day:
the
darkness and
the
light are
both
alike
to
thee
.
For Thou --
Thou
hast possessed my reins ,
Thou dost
cover
me in my mother's belly
.
For thou hast possessed my reins :
thou hast
covered
me in my mother's womb
.
I confess
Thee ,
because
that
`with'
wonders
I have
been
distinguished.
Wonderful
`
are '
Thy works ,
And my soul is
knowing
`it'
well.
I will
praise
thee ;
for
I am
fearfully
and
wonderfully
made:
marvellous
are thy works ;
and that
my soul knoweth
right
well.
My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower
part
of earth.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest
parts
of the
earth.
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.
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.
And
to
me
how precious have
been
Thy thoughts, O God ,
how great hath
been
their
sum!
How precious also
are
thy thoughts unto
me
, O God !
how great is
the
sum of
them
!
I recount
them !
than
the
sand
they are more ,
I have
waked
, and
I am still with Thee.
If
I should
count
them ,
they are more in
number
than
the
sand:
when
I awake
, I am still with thee.
Dost
Thou slay ,
O
God,
the wicked ?
Then
, men
of
blood,
turn
aside
from me !
Surely
thou wilt
slay the wicked, O
God:
depart
from me therefore,
ye
bloody
men.
Who
exchange
Thee
for wickedness
, Lifted
up
to
vanity
`are'
Thine enemies.
For they
speak
against
thee
wickedly
, and
thine enemies take
thy
name
in
vain
.
Do not I hate, Jehovah
, those
hating
Thee? And with Thy
withstanders
grieve
myself
?
Do not I hate them
, O
LORD
, that
hate
thee? and am
not
I
grieved
with those
that
rise
up
against
thee
?
`
With '
perfect hatred I have
hated
them ,
Enemies they
have
become
to
me
.
I
hate
them
with perfect hatred :
I count
them mine
enemies.
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 a
grievous
way
be in me, And lead me in a
way age-during!
And see if there
be any
wicked
way
in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting.
