1[[To the Heavenly Worship Leader, A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved].]] O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youⁱ have searched me, and known [me].

2youⁱ know my downsitting and mine uprising, youⁱ understand my thought afar off.

3youⁱ compass (go around, encircle; encompass) my path and my lying down, and are acquainted [with] all my ways.

4For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youⁱ know it altogether.

5youⁱ have beset me behind and before, and laid yourⁱ hand upon me.

6[Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it.

7To where shall I go from yourⁱ spirit? or to which shall I flee from yourⁱ presence?

8If I ascend up into heaven, youⁱ [are] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, youⁱ [are there].

9[If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall yourⁱ hand lead me, and yourⁱ right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, the darkness hides not from youⁱ; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to youⁱ].

13For youⁱ have possessed my reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion): youⁱ have covered me in my mother's womb.

14I will praise youⁱ; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvelous [are] yourⁱ works; and [that] my soul knows right well.

15My substance was not hid from youⁱ, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16Your2s eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in yourⁱ book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.

17How precious also are yourⁱ thoughts unto me, O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]! how great is the sum of them!

18[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with youⁱ.

19Surely youⁱ will slay the wicked, O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: depart from me therefore, you^2f bloody men.

20For they speak against youⁱ wickedly, [and] yourⁱ enemies take [yourⁱ name] in vain.

21Do not I hate them, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], that hate youⁱ? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against youⁱ?

22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23Search me, O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
