7  nWhither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither oshall I flee from thy presence?

8  pIf I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

qIf I rmake my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9  If I take sthe wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10  Even there shall thy hand tlead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

11  If I say, uSurely the darkness shall cover me;

Even the night shall be light about me.

12  Yea, uthe darkness †hideth not from thee;

But the night shineth as the day:

†The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13  For thou hast vpossessed my reins:

Thou hast wcovered me in my mother’s womb.

14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

xMarvellous are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth †right well.

15  yMy ||substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And zcuriously wrought in athe lowest parts of the earth.

16  yThine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;

And in thy book †all my members were written,

||Which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17  bHow precious also are cthy thoughts unto me, O God!

How great is dthe sum of them!

18  If I eshould count them, they are more in number than fthe sand:

When I awake, I am still with thee.

19  gSurely thou wilt hslay the wicked, O God:

iDepart from me therefore, kye bloody men.

20  For they lspeak against thee wickedly,

And thine menemies take nthy name in vain.

21  oDo not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?

And am not I pgrieved with qthose that rise up against thee?

22  I hate them with perfect hatred:

I count them mine enemies.

23  Search me, O God, and know my heart:

rTry me, and know my sthoughts:

24  And see if there be any †wicked tway in me,

And ulead me in the tway xeverlasting.
