You Have Searched Me and Known Me
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, You have searched me Heb 4:13Jer 12:3Jer 17:9-10Psa 44:21Psa 17:3Psa 139:231Ch 28:91Ki 8:39
and known me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; Mat 9:42Ki 19:27Isa 37:28Luk 9:47Psa 94:11Jhn 2:24-25Pro 15:3Psa 56:8
You understand my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down; Jer 23:24Job 31:4Gen 28:10-17Pro 5:20-212Sa 11:272Sa 12:9-12Ecc 12:14Psa 121:3-8
You are aware of all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue, Heb 4:12-13Psa 19:14Psa 50:19-21Job 42:3Mat 12:35-37Jas 1:26Jer 29:23Job 42:6-8
You know all about it, O LORD.
You hem me in behind and before; Psa 34:7Deu 33:27Rev 1:17Job 23:8-9Exo 24:11Job 9:33
You have laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, Rom 11:33Job 42:3Job 11:7-9Job 26:14Psa 40:5Pro 30:2-4Psa 13:1
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Jer 23:23-24Jon 1:3Jon 1:10Act 5:9
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; Amo 9:2-4Job 34:21-22Jon 2:2Oba 1:4Pro 15:11Job 26:6Ezk 28:12-17
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, Psa 19:6Psa 74:16-17Mal 4:2Isa 24:14-16Psa 18:10
if I settle by the farthest sea,
even there Your hand will guide me; Psa 23:3Isa 41:13Psa 73:23Psa 63:8Psa 143:9-10
Your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, Job 12:22Jer 23:24Psa 94:7Job 22:12-14Psa 10:11-13Isa 29:15
and the light become night around me”—
even the darkness is not dark to You, Dan 2:22Job 34:22Exo 20:21Heb 4:13Job 26:6Exo 14:20
but the night shines like the day,
for darkness is as light to You.
For You formed my inmost being; 1 Jer 1:5Psa 119:73Isa 44:2Job 31:15Job 10:9-12Psa 22:9-10Psa 71:6Isa 46:3
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise You, Gen 1:26-27Psa 111:2Psa 104:24Psa 92:4-5Psa 40:5Job 5:9Rev 15:3
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Marvelous are Your works,
and I know this very well.
My frame was not hidden from You Ecc 11:5Psa 139:13Job 10:8-11Psa 63:9Eph 4:9Exo 11:5
when I was made in secret,
when I was woven together
in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; Psa 56:8Mal 3:16Rev 20:12
all my days were written in Your book
and ordained for me
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, 2 O God, Psa 40:5Jer 29:11Isa 55:8-9Psa 92:5Psa 36:7Eph 3:9-10Psa 31:19Pro 8:31
how vast is their sum!
If I were to count them, Psa 3:5Psa 139:3Psa 40:51Th 5:10Psa 16:8-11Psa 17:15Psa 63:6-7Dan 12:2
they would outnumber the grains of sand;
and when I awake,
I am still with You.
O God, that You would slay the wicked— Psa 119:115Psa 5:6Isa 11:4Psa 6:8Psa 9:172Co 6:17Psa 55:23Psa 64:7
away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
who speak of You deceitfully; Jud 1:15Exo 20:7Psa 74:18Isa 37:23Isa 37:28-29Psa 2:1-3Psa 73:8-9Psa 74:22-23
Your enemies take Your name in vain. 3
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, Psa 119:158Psa 31:6Rev 2:22Ch 19:2Psa 26:5Rev 2:6Jer 13:17Luk 19:41
and detest those who rise against You?
I hate them with perfect hatred; Luk 14:26Psa 101:3-8
I count them as my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Psa 26:2Job 31:61Pe 1:7Pro 17:3Deu 8:2Psa 139:1Zec 13:9Jer 11:20
test me and know my concerns.
See if there is any offensive way in me; Psa 143:10Jer 17:9-10Psa 25:8-9Psa 119:32Psa 16:11Psa 5:8Pro 28:26Psa 143:8
lead me in the way everlasting.
