For the director
of music. Of David. A psalm.
and
you know me.
2 You know when I sit and
when I rise;
you
perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and
my lying down;
you
are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my
tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind
and before,
and
you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me,
too
lofty for me to attain.
Where
can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the
heavens, you are there;
if
I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings
of the dawn,
if
I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand
will guide me,
your
right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the
darkness will hide me
and
the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will
not be dark to you;
the
night will shine like the day,
for
darkness is as light to you.
you
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your
works are wonderful,
I
know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden
from you
when
I was made in the secret place,
when
I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my
unformed body;
all
the days ordained for me were written in your book
before
one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are
your thoughts,[a] God!
How
vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they
would outnumber the grains of sand—
when
I awake, I am still with you.
Away
from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with
evil intent;
your
adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who
hate you, Lord,
and
abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but
hatred for them;
I
count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God,
and know my heart;
test
me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any
offensive way in me,
and
lead me in the way everlasting.
