3When I walk, when I lie you sift it, familiar with all my ways.
4There is not a word on my tongue, but see! Lord, you know it all.
5Behind and before you beset me, upon me you lay your hand.
6It's too wonderful for me to know too lofty I cannot attain it.
7Whither shall I go from your spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your face?
8If I climb up to heaven, you are there: or make Sheol my bed, you are there.
9If I lift up the wings of the morning and fly to the end of the sea,
10there also your hand would grasp me, and your right hand take hold of me.
11If I say, “Let the darkness cover me, and night be the light about me,”
12The dark is not dark for you, but night is as light as the day.
13For you did put me together; in my mother's womb you did weave me.
14I give you praise for my fashioning so full of awe, so wonderful. Your works are wonderful. You knew me right well;
15my bones were not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and woven in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw all my days: they stood on your book every one written down, before they were fashioned, while none of them yet was mine.
17But how far, O God, beyond measure are your thoughts! How mighty their sum!
18Should I count, they are more than the sand. When I wake, I am still with you.
19Will you slay the wicked, O God? And remove from me the bloodthirsty,
20who maliciously defy you and take your name in vain.
21Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord? Do I not loathe those who resist you?
22With perfect hatred I hate them, I count them my enemies.
