| [1]In finem. Psalmus David. |
[1]O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. |
| [2]Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me. |
[2]Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. |
| [3]Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia. |
[3]Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. |
| [4]Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum. |
[4]For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. |
| [5]Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me: qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos; |
[5]Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. |
| [6]absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi, et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter scandalum posuerunt mihi. |
[6]Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. |
| [7]Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ. |
[7]Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
| [8]Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli. |
[8]If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. |
| [9]Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori; cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur. |
[9]If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; |
| [10]Caput circuitus eorum, labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos. |
[10]Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. |
| [11]Cadent super eos carbones, in ignem dejicies eos; in miseriis non subsistent. |
[11]If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. |
| [12]Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra, virum injustum mala capient in interitu. |
[12]Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. |
| [13]Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum. |
[13]For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. |
| [14]Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo; et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo. |
[14]I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. |
| 15[No verse] |
[15]My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
| 16[No verse] |
[16]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. |
| 17[No verse] |
[17]How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! |
| 18[No verse] |
[18]If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. |
| 19[No verse] |
[19]Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. |
| 20[No verse] |
[20]For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. |
| 21[No verse] |
[21]Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? |
| 22[No verse] |
[22]I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. |
| 23[No verse] |
[23]Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: |
| 24[No verse] |
[24]And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. |
