\d A psalm written by David for the choir director.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, you have examined what is in my inner being,
|
|
\q2 and you know everything about me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 You know when I sit down and when I stand up.
|
|
\q1 Even though you are far away from me,
|
|
\q2 you know what I am thinking.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 From the time that I rise in the morning until I lie down to sleep at night,
|
|
\q2 you know everything that I do.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Yahweh, even before I say anything,
|
|
\q2 you know everything that I am going to say!
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 You protect me on all sides;
|
|
\q2 you put your hand on me to protect me with your power.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 I am not able to understand that you know everything about me.
|
|
\q2 That is too hard for me to really understand.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?
|
|
\q1 Where could I go to get away from you?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 If I go up to heaven, you will be there.
|
|
\q1 If I lie down in the place where the dead people are, you will be there.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 If the sun could carry me across the sky,
|
|
\q1 if I flew west and made a place to live on an island in the ocean,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 you would be there also to lead me by your hand,
|
|
\q2 and you would help me.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 I could request the darkness to hide me,
|
|
\q1 or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 but even if that happened, the darkness would not be darkness for you!
|
|
\q1 For you the night is as bright as the daytime is
|
|
\q2 because, for you, daylight and darkness are no different.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 You created all the parts of my body;
|
|
\q2 you put the parts of my body together when I was still in my mother's womb.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 I praise you because you made my body very awesomely and wonderfully.
|
|
\q1 Everything that you do is amazing!
|
|
\q2 I know that very well.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 When my body was being formed,
|
|
\q1 while it was being put together where no one else could see it,
|
|
\q2 you saw it!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 You saw me before I was born.
|
|
\q1 You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live.
|
|
\q2 You did that before any of those days had even started!
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 God, what you think about me is very precious.
|
|
\q2 There is a huge amount of things that you think about.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 If I could count them, I would see that they are more than the grains of sand at the seashore.
|
|
\q1 When I awake, I am still with you,
|
|
\q2 and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 God, I wish that you would kill the wicked people!
|
|
\q2 I wish that violent men would all leave me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 They say wicked things about you;
|
|
\q2 they slander your name.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Yahweh, I certainly hate those who hate you!
|
|
\q2 I despise those who rebel against you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 I hate them completely,
|
|
\q2 and I consider that they are my enemies.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 God, search my inner being;
|
|
\q2 find out what I am thinking!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 Find out whether there is anything evil in my inner being,
|
|
\q2 and lead me along the road that leads to my being with you forever.
