1O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
3Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
4For there is not a word in my tongue,
5Thou hast beset me behind and before,
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
9If I take the wings of the morning,
10Even there shall thy hand lead me,
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;
12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee;
13For thou hast possessed my reins:
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
15My substance was not hid from thee,
16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God:
18If I should count them, they are moe in number than the sand:
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
20For they speak against thee wickedly,
21Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
22I hate them with perfect hatred:
23Search me, O God, and know my heart:
24And see if there be any wicked way in me,
