1To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. O Lord, thou hast tried me and knowen me.
2Thou knowest my sitting and my rising: thou vnderstandest my thought afarre off.
3Thou compassest my pathes, and my lying downe, and art accustomed to all my wayes.
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but loe, thou knowest it wholy, O Lord.
5Thou holdest mee straite behinde and before, and layest thine hand vpon me.
