- You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar. - Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely. - Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. - For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. - Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. - Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief. - I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land. - Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground. - I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever. - Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does. - The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - The Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. - He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. - For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord. - Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers. - But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high. - From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people. - In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety. - In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
