¹ O Lord, you have ^(a)searched me and known me!
² You ^(b)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you ^(c)discern my thoughts from afar.
³ You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, ^(d)you know it altogether.
⁵ You ^(e)hem me in, behind and before,
    and ^(f)lay your hand upon me.
^6 (g)Such knowledge is ^(h)too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

^7 (i)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where ^(j)shall I flee from your presence?
^8 (k)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    ^(l)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand shall ^(m)lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, ⁽ⁿ⁾"Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,"
^12 (o)even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

¹³ For you ^(p)formed my inward parts;
    you ^(q)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
¹⁴ I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.^[a]
(r)Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
^15 (s)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in ^(t)the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^(u)book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your ^(v)thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
^18 (w)If I would count them, they are more than ^(x)the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

¹⁹ Oh that you would ^(y)slay the wicked, O God!
    O ^(z)men of blood, ^(aa)depart from me!
²⁰ They ^(ab)speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies ^(ac)take your name in vain.^[b]
21 (ad)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not ^(ae)loathe those who ^(af)rise up against you?
²² I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    ^(ag)Try me and know my thoughts!^[c]
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and ^(ah)lead me in ^(ai)the way everlasting!^[d]
