God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, aYou have searched me and known me. 
2 aYou know my sitting down and my rising up;
You bunderstand my thought afar off. 
3 aYou1 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, aYou know it altogether. 
5 You have1 hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me. 
6 aSuch knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. 
7 aWhere can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence? 
8 aIf I ascend into heaven, You are there;
bIf I make my bed in1 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 shall1 fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me; 
12 Indeed, athe darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You. 
13 For You1 formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb. 
14 I will praise You, for1 I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well. 
15 aMy1 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.
