1 - To the Overseer. --A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.

2 - Thou--Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

3 - My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And <FI>with<Fi> all my ways hast been acquainted.

4 - For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

5 - Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.

6 - Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

7 - Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

8 - If I ascend the heavens--there Thou <FI>art<Fi> , And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!

9 - I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,

10 - Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.

11 - And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night <FI>is<Fi> light to me.

12 - Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as <FI>is<Fi> darkness so <FI>is<Fi> light.

13 - For Thou--Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.

14 - I confess Thee, because that <FI>with<Fi> wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful <FI>are<Fi> Thy works, And my soul is knowing <FI>it<Fi> well.

15 - My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.

16 - Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed--And not one among them.

17 - And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

18 - I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.

19 - Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!

20 - Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity <FI>are<Fi> Thine enemies.

21 - Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?

22 - <FI> With<Fi> perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.

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

24 - And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
