{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 understand my thought from afar.
You understand my thought from afar.

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
And laid Your hand upon me.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
And the light around me will 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,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to 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 wove me in my mother’s womb.
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
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 made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought 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 have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one 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 also are Your thoughts to me, 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 should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
When I awake, 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.
O that You would slay the wicked, O God;
Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
