Your strength, God, is the king’s strength.

You filled his arms with gifts;

Lord, you have examined my heart

    and know everything about me.
 
You know when I sit down or stand up.
    You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
 
You see me when I travel
    and when I rest at home.
    You know everything I do.
 
You know what I am going to say
    even before I say it, Lord.

 
You go before me and follow me.
    You place your hand of blessing on my head.
 
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too great for me to understand!

I can never escape from your Spirit!

    I can never get away from your presence!
 
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
    if I go down to the grave, you are there.
 
If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
 
even there your hand will guide me,
    and your strength will support me.
 
I could ask the darkness to hide me
    and the light around me to become night—

 
    but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.

To you the night shines as bright as day.
    Darkness and light are the same to you.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
 
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

 
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
 
You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.

    They cannot be numbered!
 
I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
    you are still with me!

O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!

    Get out of my life, you murderers!
 
They blaspheme you;
    your enemies misuse your name.

 
Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
    Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
 
Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
    for your enemies are my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
 
Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Your hands made me and formed me;
    give me understanding to learn your commands.
 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,
    for I have put my hope in your word.
 I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,
    and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
 May your unfailing love be my comfort,
    according to your promise to your servant.
 Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
    for your law is my delight.

God, I’m not trying to rule the roost,

I haven’t meddled where I have no business
    or fantasized grandiose plans.

I’ve kept my feet on the ground,
    I’ve cultivated a quiet heart.
Like a baby content in its mother’s arms,
    my soul is a baby content.

Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope.
    Hope now; hope always!

Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
    Who may live on your holy mountain? 
The one whose walk is blameless,
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth from their heart;
 
whose tongue utters no slander,
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;

 
who despises a vile person
    but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
 
who lends money to the poor without interest;
    who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.
