1391To the Overseer. --A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.+2Thou--Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.+3My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted.+4For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!+5Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.+6Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.+7Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?+8If I ascend the heavens--there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!+9I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,+10Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.+11And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me.+12Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light.+13For Thou--Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.+14I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul is knowing it well.+15My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.+16Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed--And not one among them.+17And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!+18I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.+19Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!+20Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies.+21Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?+22With perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.+23Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,+24And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!+
