0. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1. [For the choirmaster Of David Psalm] Yahweh, you examine me and know me,

1. O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me!

2. you know when I sit, when I rise, you understand my thoughts from afar.

2. Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar.

3. You watch when I walk or lie down, you know every detail of my conduct.

3. Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4. A word is not yet on my tongue before you, Yahweh, know all about it.

4. Even before a word is on my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5. You fence me in, behind and in front, you have laid your hand upon me.

5. Thou dost beset me behind and before, and layest thy hand upon me.

6. Such amazing knowledge is beyond me, a height to which I cannot attain.

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

7. Where shall I go to escape your spirit? Where shall I flee from your presence?

7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8. If I scale the heavens you are there, if I lie flat in Sheol, there you are.

8. If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!

9. If I speed away on the wings of the dawn, if I dwell beyond the ocean,

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

10. even there your hand will be guiding me, your right hand holding me fast.

10. even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11. I will say, 'Let the darkness cover me, and the night wrap itself around me,'

11. If I say, "Let only darkness cover me, and the light about me be night,"

12. even darkness to you is not dark, and night is as clear as the day.

12. even the darkness is not dark to thee, the night is bright as the day; for darkness is as light with thee.

13. You created my inmost self, knit me together in my mother's womb.

13. For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb.

14. For so many marvels I thank you; a wonder am I, and all your works are wonders. You knew me through and through,

14. I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well;

15. my being held no secrets from you, when I was being formed in secret, textured in the depths of the earth.

15. my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.

16. Your eyes could see my embryo. In your book all my days were inscribed, every one that was fixed is there.

16. Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

17. How hard for me to grasp your thoughts, how many, God, there are!

17. How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18. If I count them, they are more than the grains of sand; if I come to an end, I am still with you.

18. If I would count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.

19. If only, God, you would kill the wicked!-Men of violence, keep away from me!-

19. O that thou wouldst slay the wicked, O God, and that men of blood would depart from me,

20. those who speak blasphemously about you, and take no account of your thoughts.

20. men who maliciously defy thee, who lift themselves up against thee for evil!

21. Yahweh, do I not hate those who hate you, and loathe those who defy you?

21. Do I not hate them that hate thee, O LORD? And do I not loathe them that rise up against thee?

22. My hate for them has no limits, I regard them as my own enemies.

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

23. God, examine me and know my heart, test me and know my concerns.

23. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!

24. Make sure that I am not on my way to ruin, and guide me on the road of eternity.

24. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
