1	, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known .
			2	Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
			3	Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted all my ways.
			4	For not a word in my tongue, , lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
			5	Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
			6	# Such knowledge too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot unto it.
			7	Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
			8	If I ascend up into heaven, thou there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou .
			9	# If I take the wings of the morning, dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
			10	Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
			11	If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
			12	Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light both alike .
			13	For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
			14	I will praise thee; for I am fearfully wonderfully made: marvellous thy works; and my soul knoweth right well.
			15	My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
			16	Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all were written, in continuance were fashioned, when none of them.
			17	How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
			18	# If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
			19	Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
			20	For they speak against thee wickedly, thine enemies take in vain.
			21	Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
			22	I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
			23	Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
			24	And see if wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
