| 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me. | 1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. | 1 O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me . | 1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: | 1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest. | 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. | 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. | 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. | 2 thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up. | 2 Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. | 3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. | 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. | 3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. | 3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out. | 3 My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted. | 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all. | 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. | 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether. | 4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue. | 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all! | 5 You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. | 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. | 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. | 5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me. | 5 Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. | 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. | 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. | 6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it. | 6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it. | 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? | 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? | 7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? | 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face? | 7 Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee? | 8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. | 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. | 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. | 8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present. | 8 If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! | 9 If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, | 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; | 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; | 9 If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: | 9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, | 10 Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. | 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. | 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. | 10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me. | 10 Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," | 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. | 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; | 11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures. | 11 And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me. | 12 Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. | 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. | 12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee . | 12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee. | 12 Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light. | 13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. | 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. | 13 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. | 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb. | 13 For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly. | 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. | 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. | 14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. | 14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well. | 14 I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul is knowing it well. | 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; | 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. | 15 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. | 15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth. | 15 My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. | 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. | 16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me , When as yet there was none of them. | 16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them. | 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 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! | 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! | 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! | 17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened. | 17 And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum! | 18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. | 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. | 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. | 18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee. | 18 I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee. | 19 O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. | 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. | 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. | 19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me: | 19 Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me! | 20 For they speak against You wickedly, And Your enemies take Your name in vain. | 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. | 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take thy name in vain. | 20 Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain. | 20 Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? | 21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? | 21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? | 21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies? | 21 Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself? | 22 I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies. | 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. | 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. | 22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me. | 22 With 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 anxious thoughts; | 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: | 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; | 23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths. | 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts, | 24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. | 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. | 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. | 24 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way. | 24 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during! |
