¹ O Lord, You have searched me and known me. ² You understand my thought afar off. ³ And are acquainted with all my ways. ⁴ But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. ⁵ And laid Your hand upon me. ⁶ It is high, I cannot attain it. ⁷ Or where can I flee from Your presence? ⁸ If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. ⁹ And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, ¹⁰ And Your right hand shall hold me. ¹¹ Even the night shall be light about me; ¹² The darkness and the light are both alike to You. ¹³ You covered me in my mother’s womb. ¹⁴ And that my soul knows very well. ¹⁵ And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. ¹⁶ When as yet there were none of them. ¹⁷ How great is the sum of them! ¹⁸ When I awake, I am still with You. ¹⁹ Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. ²⁰ Your enemies take Your name in vain. ²¹ And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? ²² I count them my enemies. ²³ Try me, and know my anxieties; ²⁴ And lead me in the way everlasting.
