[00:07.30]O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
[00:10.93]You know my sitting down and my rising up;
[00:14.84]You understand my thought afar off.
[00:17.65]You comprehend my path and my lying down,
[00:20.96]And are acquainted with all my ways.
[00:23.86]For there is not a word on my tongue,
[00:26.27]But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
[00:28.37]You have hedged me behind and before,
[00:31.67]And laid Your hand upon me.
[00:35.49]Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
[00:38.29]It is high, I cannot attain it.
[00:40.39]Where can I go from Your Spirit?
[00:44.74]Or where can I flee from Your presence?
[00:46.64]If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
[00:51.29]If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
[00:55.16]If I take the wings of the morning,
[00:57.32]And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
[01:00.93]Even there Your hand shall lead me,
[01:02.88]And Your right hand shall hold me.
[01:06.19]If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,”
[01:10.50]Even the night shall be light about me;
[01:12.86]Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
[01:17.37]But the night shines as the day;
[01:19.87]The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
[01:22.73]For You formed my inward parts;
[01:25.53]You covered me in my mother’s womb.
[01:28.68]I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
[01:31.49]Marvelous are Your works,
[01:35.85]And that my soul knows very well.
[01:37.50]My frame was not hidden from You,
[01:39.86]When I was made in secret,
[01:41.97]And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
[01:45.27]Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
[01:48.77]And in Your book they all were written,
[01:52.16]The days fashioned for me,
[01:53.56]When as yet there were none of them.
[01:55.92]How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
[02:00.33]How great is the sum of them!
[02:02.33]If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
[02:06.85]When I awake, I am still with You.
[02:10.31]Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
[02:13.61]Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
[02:15.96]For they speak against You wickedly;
[02:18.47]Your enemies take Your name in vain.[c]
[02:21.58]Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
[02:25.44]And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
[02:29.54]I hate them with perfect hatred;
[02:31.30]I count them my enemies.
[02:32.50]Search me, O God, and know my heart;
[02:34.92]Try me, and know my anxieties;
[02:37.98]And see if there is any wicked way in me,
[02:41.53]And lead me in the way everlasting.
