- O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off. - For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. - Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. - For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well. - Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. - Hear my prayer, O Lord,
give ear to my supplications:
in thy faithfulness answer me,
and in thy righteousness. - I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. - Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee. - Teach me to do thy will;
for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good;
lead me into the land of uprightness. - I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. - Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable. - The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
and holy in all his works. - The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth. - The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous. - The Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. - He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds. - For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people:
he will beautify the meek with salvation. - Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord. - Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. - But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. - Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. - My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. - For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. - What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name:
and deliver us, and purge away our sins,
for thy name's sake. Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.Next verse!With image
