LEB(i)
1 For the music director. Of David. A psalm.*
O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thought from afar. 3 You search out* my wandering and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word yet on my tongue, but behold, O Yahweh, you know it completely. 5 You barricade me behind and in front, and set your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is set high; I cannot prevail against it. 7 Where I can go from your Spirit, or where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, there you are, and if I make my bed in Sheol, look! There you are. 9 If I lift up the wings of the dawn, and I alight on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand would lead me, and your right hand would hold me fast. 11 And if I should say, "Surely darkness will cover me, and the light around me will be as night," 12 even the darkness is not too dark for you,* and the night shines as the day— the darkness and the light are alike for you. 13 Indeed you created my ⌊inward parts⌋;* you wove me in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.* Wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it well. 15 My ⌊frame⌋* was not hidden from you, when I was created secretly,* and intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my embryo,* and in your book they all were written— days fashioned for me when there was not one of them. 17 And to me, how precious* are your thoughts, O God; how vast is their sum. 18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. I awaken, and I am still with you. 19 If only you would kill the wicked, O God— so get away from me, you ⌊bloodthirsty men⌋—* 20 who speak against you deceitfully. Your enemies take your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Yahweh? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with a complete hatred; they have become my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 And see if there is in me ⌊the worship of false gods⌋,* and lead me in the way everlasting.
