| [1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068, thou hast searchedH2713[H8804] me, and knownH3045 meH8799. |
[1]O Lord, thou hast tried me and known me. |
| [2]Thou knowestH3045[H8804] my downsittingH3427[H8800] and mine uprisingH6965[H8800], thou understandestH995[H8804] my thoughtH7454 afar offH7350. |
[2]Thou knowest my sitting and my rising: thou understandest my thought afar off. |
| [3]Thou compassestH2219[H8765] my pathH734 and my lying downH7252, and art acquaintedH5532[H8689] with all my waysH1870. |
[3]Thou compassest my paths, and my lying down, and art accustomed to all my ways. |
| [4]For there is not a wordH4405 in my tongueH3956, but, lo, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045 it altogetherH8804. |
[4]For there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, thou knowest it wholly, O Lord. |
| [5]Thou hast besetH6696[H8804] me behindH268 and beforeH6924, and laidH7896[H8799] thine hand upon meH3709. |
[5]Thou holdest me strait behind and before, and layest thine hand upon me. |
| [6]Such knowledgeH1847 is too wonderfulH6383[H8675][H6383] for me; it is highH7682[H8738], I cannotH3201 attain unto itH8799. |
[6]Thy knowledge is too wonderful for me: it is so high that I cannot attain unto it. |
| [7]Whither shall I goH3212[H8799] from thy spiritH7307? or whither shall I fleeH1272[H8799] from thy presenceH6440? |
[7]Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
| [8]If I ascend upH5266[H8799] into heavenH8064, thou art there: if I make my bedH3331[H8686] in hell, behold, thou art thereH7585. |
[8]If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I lie down in hell, thou art there. |
| [9]If I takeH5375[H8799] the wingsH3671 of the morningH7837, and dwellH7931[H8799] in the uttermost partsH319 of the seaH3220; |
[9]Let me take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: |
| [10]Even there shall thy handH3027 leadH5148[H8686] me, and thy right handH3225 shall holdH270 meH8799. |
[10]Yet thither shall thine hand lead me, and thy right hand hold me. |
| [11]If I sayH559[H8799], Surely the darknessH2822 shall coverH7779[H8799] me; even the nightH3915 shall be lightH216 about meH1157. |
[11]If I say, Yet the darkness shall hide me, even the night shall be light about me. |
| [12]Yea, the darknessH2822 hidethH2821[H8686] not from thee; but the nightH3915 shinethH215[H8686] as the dayH3117: the darknessH2825 and the light are both alike to theeH219. |
[12]Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee: but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and light are both alike. |
| [13]For thou hast possessedH7069[H8804] my reinsH3629: thou hast coveredH5526[H8799] me in my mother'sH517 wombH990. |
[13]For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. |
| [14]I will praiseH3034[H8686] thee; for I am fearfullyH3372[H8737] and wonderfully madeH6395[H8738]: marvellousH6381[H8737] are thy worksH4639; and that my soulH5315 knowethH3045[H8802] right wellH3966. |
[14]I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wondrously made: marvelous are thy works, and my soul knoweth it well. |
| [15]My substanceH6108 was not hidH3582[H8738] from thee, when I was madeH6213[H8795] in secretH5643, and curiously wroughtH7551[H8795] in the lowest partsH8482 of the earthH776. |
[15]My bones are not hid from thee, though I was made in a secret place, and fashioned beneath in the earth. |
| [16]Thine eyesH5869 did seeH7200[H8804] my substance, yet being unperfectH1564; and in thy bookH5612 all my members were writtenH3789[H8735], which in continuanceH3117 were fashionedH3335[H8795], when as yet there was none of themH259. |
[16]Thine eyes did see me, when I was without form: for in thy book were all things written, which in continuance were fashioned, when there was none of them before. |
| [17]How preciousH3365[H8804] also are thy thoughtsH7454 unto me, O GodH410! how greatH6105[H8804] is the sum of themH7218! |
[17]How dear therefore are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! |
| [18]If I should countH5608[H8799] them, they are more in numberH7235[H8799] than the sandH2344: when I awakeH6974[H8689], I am still with theeH5750. |
[18]If I should count them, they are more than the sand: when I wake, I am still with thee. |
| [19]Surely thou wilt slayH6991[H8799] the wickedH7563, O GodH433: departH5493[H8798] from me therefore, ye bloodyH1818 menH582. |
[19]Oh that thou wouldest slay, O God, the wicked and bloody men, to whom I say, Depart ye from me: |
| [20]For they speakH559[H8799] against thee wickedlyH4209, and thine enemiesH6145 takeH5375[H8804] thy name in vainH7723. |
[20]Which speak wickedly of thee , and being thine enemies are lifted up in vain. |
| [21]Do not I hateH8130[H8799] them, O LORDH3068, that hateH8130[H8764] thee? and am not I grievedH6962[H8709] with those that rise up against theeH8618? |
[21]Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? And do not I earnestly contend with those that rise up against thee? |
| [22]I hateH8130[H8804] them with perfectH8503 hatredH8135: I count them mine enemiesH341.[H8802] |
[22]I hate them with an unfained hatred, as they were mine utter enemies. |
| [23]SearchH2713[H8798] me, O GodH410, and knowH3045[H8798] my heartH3824: tryH974[H8798] me, and knowH3045[H8798] my thoughtsH8312: |
[23]Try me, O God, and know mine heart: prove me and know my thoughts, |
| [24]And seeH7200[H8798] if there be any wickedH6090 wayH1870 in me, and leadH5148[H8798] me in the wayH1870 everlastingH5769. |
[24]And consider if there be any way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the way forever. |
