Berean Standard Bible
O lord, thou
hast
searched me ,
and known me.
For
the
choirmaster.
A
Psalm
of
David.
O LORD, You
have
searched me and known me.
Thou
knowest
my
downsitting
and mine
uprising,
thou
understandest
my thought
afar off
.
You
know
when
I
sit
and when
I
rise;
You
understand
my thoughts
from
afar.
Thou
compassest
my path and my lying down ,
and
art
acquainted
with
all my ways.
You
search
out
my path and my lying down ;
You
are
aware
of
all my ways.
For
there
is
not
a word in
my tongue, but,
lo
, O LORD ,
thou
knowest
it
altogether
.
Even
before
a word is
on
my tongue, You
know
all
about
it
, O LORD.
Thou
hast
beset
me behind and before ,
and
laid thine
hand upon me.
You
hem
me in
behind and before ;
You
have
laid Your
hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ;
it
is
high
, I
cannot
attain unto
it
.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too
lofty
for
me
to
attain.
Whither
shall
I go from
thy
spirit? or
whither
shall
I flee from thy
presence?
Where
can
I go to
escape
Your
Spirit? Where
can
I flee from Your
presence?
If I ascend up
into
heaven
, thou
art
there :
if I make my bed in hell,
behold
, thou
art
there.
If I ascend to
the
heavens
, You
are
there ;
if I make my bed in Sheol
, You
are
there.
If I take
the wings of the morning
, and
dwell
in
the
uttermost
parts
of
the sea ;
If I rise
on
the wings of the dawn
, if
I
settle
by
the farthest
sea ,
Even there shall
thy
hand lead
me ,
and
thy
right hand shall
hold me.
even there Your
hand will
guide
me ;
Your
right hand will
hold me fast
.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall
cover
me ;
even
the night
shall
be
light about
me .
If I say, “
Surely the darkness will
hide
me ,
and
the light become
night
around
me ”—
Yea,
the darkness hideth
not from
thee;
but the night shineth
as
the day :
the
darkness and
the
light are
both
alike
to thee
.
even
the darkness is
not dark
to
You,
but the night shines
like
the day ,
for
darkness is
as
light to You
.
For thou
hast
possessed
my reins:
thou
hast
covered
me in my mother's
womb.
For You
formed
my inmost
being;
You
knit
me together
in my mother’s
womb.
I will
praise thee;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made :
marvellous
are thy
works ;
and that
my
soul
knoweth
right
well.
I praise You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made .
Marvelous
are Your
works ,
and I
know
this
very
well.
My substance
was not hid
from thee,
when I was made in secret, and
curiously
wrought
in the lowest
parts
of the earth.
My frame
was not hidden
from You
when I was made in secret, when
I
was
woven
together
in the depths
of the earth.
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.
Your
eyes saw
my unformed
body
; all my days
were written in Your
book
and
ordained
for
me
before
one
of them came
to
be
.
How precious also
are thy
thoughts unto
me
, O God !
how great
is the
sum of
them
!
How precious to
me
are Your
thoughts, O God ,
how vast
is their
sum!
If I should
count them, they are
more
in
number
than
the sand :
when I awake, I am still with thee
.
If I were
to
count them, they would
outnumber
the grains
of
sand ;
and
when I awake, I am still with You
.
Surely
thou
wilt
slay the wicked ,
O
God:
depart
from me therefore
, ye
bloody
men .
O
God,
that
You
would
slay the wicked —
away
from me, you
bloodthirsty
men —
For
they
speak against
thee
wickedly,
and
thine
enemies take thy
name in vain.
who
speak of
You
deceitfully;
Your
enemies take Your
name in vain.
Do not
I hate them
, O LORD, that
hate
thee?
and am
not
I
grieved
with
those that
rise up
against thee
?
Do I not
hate those
who
hate
You
, O LORD, and detest
those who
rise against You
?
I hate them with perfect hatred :
I count them mine
enemies.
I hate them with perfect hatred ;
I count them as
my
enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart :
try
me ,
and know my thoughts:
Search me, O God, and know my heart ;
test
me and know my concerns.
And
see if there be
any wicked
way in me ,
and
lead me in the way everlasting.
See if there is
any offensive
way in me ;
lead me in the way everlasting.
