¹ <> LORD, you have searched me, And you know me. ² You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. ³ You search out my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. ⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue, But, behold, LORD, you know it altogether. ⁵ You tzitzit me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me. ⁶ This knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty. I can't attain it.

⁷ Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? ⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in She'ol, behold, you are there! ⁹ If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; ¹⁰ Even there your hand will lead me, And your right hand will hold me. ¹¹ If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; The light around me will be night;" ¹² Even the darkness doesn't hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you. ¹³ For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁴ I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. ¹⁵ My frame wasn't hidden from you, When I was made in secret, Woven together in the depths of the eretz. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! ¹⁸ If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you. ¹⁹ If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men! ²⁰ For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain. ²¹ LORD, don't I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you? ²² I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies. ²³ Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. ²⁴ See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
