To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

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

My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted.

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

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

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

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

And my spirit has fainted within me; my heart has become weary within me.

And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I am Thy servant!

Our Lord is great and has awesome power; there is no limit to his wisdom.

He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.

He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD.

He has also established them forever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

My son, if thou art surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,

Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
