God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹ O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

² You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.

³ You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.

⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

⁵ You have [b]hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.

⁹ If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

¹⁰ Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;

¹² Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.

¹⁴ I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

¹⁵ My [h]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

¹⁷ How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!

¹⁸ If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

¹⁹ Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you [i]bloodthirsty men.

²⁰ For they speak against You wickedly;
[j]Your enemies take Your name in vain.

²¹ Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

²² I hate them with [k]perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;

²⁴ And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
