1For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me. 2Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before. 3Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways. 4For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, 5the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me. 6The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it. 7Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. 9If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain], 10for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me. 11When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury. 12For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to thee]. 13For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb. 14I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows [it] well. 15My bones which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth. 16Thine eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them. 17But thy friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened. 18I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with thee. 19Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God; depart from me, ye men of blood. 20For thou wilt say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take thy cities in vain. 21Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate thee? and wasted away because of thine enemies? 22I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies. 23Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths; 24and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
