1391Yahweh, you have searched me,and you know me.+2You know my sitting down and my rising up.You perceive my thoughts from afar.+3You search out my path and my lying down,and are acquainted with all my ways.+4For there is not a word on my tongue,but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.+5You hem me in behind and before.You laid your hand on me.+6This knowledge is beyond me.It’s lofty.I can’t attain it.+7Where could I go from your Spirit?Or where could I flee from your presence?+8If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!+9If I take the wings of the dawn,and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;+10Even there your hand will lead me,and your right hand will hold me.+11If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me;the light around me will be night”;+12even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,but the night shines as the day.The darkness is like light to you.+13For you formed my inmost being.You knit me together in my mother’s womb.+14I will give thanks to you,for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Your works are wonderful.My soul knows that very well.+15My frame wasn’t hidden from you,when I was made in secret,woven together in the depths of the earth.+16Your 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.+17How precious to me are your thoughts, God!How vast is their sum!+18If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.When I wake up, I am still with you.+19If only you, God, would kill the wicked.Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!+20For they speak against you wickedly.Your enemies take your name in vain.+21Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you?Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?+22I hate them with perfect hatred.They have become my enemies.+23Search me, God, and know my heart.Try me, and know my thoughts.+24See if there is any wicked way in me,and lead me in the everlasting way.+Footnotes (1)
