| 1 | O Lord, thou hast searched mee, and knowen me. |
| 2 | Thou knowest my downe sitting, and mine vprising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off. |
| 3 | Thou compassest my path, and my lying downe, and art acquainted with all my wayes. |
| 4 | For there is not a worde in my tongue: but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. |
| 5 | Thou hast beset me behind, and before: and laid thine hand vpon me. |
| 6 | Such knowledge is too wonderfull for me: it is high, I cannot attaine vnto it. |
| 7 | Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? or whither shall I flie from thy presence? |
| 8 | If I ascend vp into heauen, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. |
| 9 | If I take the wings of the morning: and dwell in the vttermost parts of the Sea: |
| 10 | Euen there shall thy hand leade me: and thy right hand shall hold me. |
| 11 | If I say, Surely the darkenes shall couer me: euen the night shall bee light about me. |
| 12 | Yea the darkenesse hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darknes and the light are both alike to thee. |
| 13 | For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe. |
| 14 | I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderfully made, marueilous are thy works: and that my soule knoweth right well. |
| 15 | My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret: and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
| 16 | Thine eyes did see my substance yet being vnperfect, and in thy booke all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned: when as yet there was none of them. |
| 17 | Howe precious also are thy thoughts vnto me, O God: how great is the summe of them? |
| 18 | If I should count them, they are moe in number then 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 speake against thee wickedly: and thine enemies take thy name in vaine. |
| 21 | Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieued with those that rise vp against thee? |
| 22 | I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. |
| 23 | Search me, O God, and knowe my heart: trie mee, and knowe my thoughts: |
| 24 | And see if there bee any wicked way in me: and leade me in the way euerlasting. |
