- Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. - Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! - For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well. - Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting! - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground! - I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever 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 kind in all his works. - The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. - The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous. - The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. - He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. - For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation. - Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! - Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers. - But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head. - Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah - In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. - O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. - For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield. - What is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him? - I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
