For the choir director: A psalm of David.
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
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 or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
even before I say it, LORD.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
too great for me to understand!
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
I can never get away from your presence!
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
and your strength will support me.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night —
and the light around me to become night —
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same 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.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous — how well I know it.
Your workmanship is marvelous — how well I know it.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
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 thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
your enemies misuse your name.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
for your enemies are my enemies.
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
