For thou hast possessed my kidneys: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that, my soul knows right well.

Where shall I go from thy spirit? or where shall I flee from thy presence?

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts

Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.

Thou knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou dost understand my thoughts from afar.

Therefore, how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thou hast girded my walk and my rest, and hast prepared all my ways.

If I ascend to the heavens, thou art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

If I take the wings of the dawn and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

Thy knowledge is wonderful beyond my ability to comprehend; it is high, I cannot understand it.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall shine because of me.

For the word is not even upon my tongue, and, behold, O LORD, thou dost know it altogether.

Thou hast formed my face and my insides and laid thine hand upon me.

Do I not hate all those, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

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

Even the darkness does not hide from thee; but the night shines as the day; the darkness is as the light.

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God; depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way eternal.

I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies.

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with thee.

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
