You Have Searched Me and Know Me
{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
you discern my thoughts from afar.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.

Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
and your right hand shall hold me.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
and the light about me be night,”
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
How vast is the sum of them!
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
I awake, and I am still with you.
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!
O men of blood, depart from me!
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
