1 O Lord, you have searched me out and known me; ♦︎
you know my sitting down and my rising up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
2 You mark out my journeys and my resting place ♦︎
and are acquainted with all my ways.
3 For there is not a word on my tongue, ♦︎
but you, O Lord, know it altogether.
4 You encompass me behind and before ♦︎
and lay your hand upon me.
5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, ♦︎
so high that I cannot attain it.
12 For you yourself created my inmost parts; ♦︎
you knit me together in my mothers womb.
13 I thank you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; ♦︎
marvellous are your works, my soul knows well.
14 My frame was not hidden from you, ♦︎
when I was made in secret
and woven in the depths of the earth.
15 Your eyes beheld my form, as yet unfinished; ♦︎
already in your book were all my members written,
16 As day by day they were fashioned ♦︎
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How deep are your counsels to me, O God! ♦︎
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I count them, they are more in number than the sand, ♦︎
and at the end, I am still in your presence.
