KJV ¹ O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

WLC ¹ לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר יְהוָ֥ה חֲ֝קַרְתַּ֗נִי וַתֵּדָֽע׃

KJV ² Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

WLC ² אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּ֣י וְקוּמִ֑י בַּ֥נְתָּה לְ֝רֵעִ֗י מֵרָחֽוֹק׃

KJV ³ Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

WLC ³ אָרְחִ֣י וְרִבְעִ֣י זֵרִ֑יתָ וְֽכָל־ דְּרָכַ֥י הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה׃

KJV ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

WLC ⁴ כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין מִ֭לָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִ֑י הֵ֥ן יְ֝הוָ֗ה יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ׃

KJV ⁵ Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

WLC ⁵ אָח֣וֹר וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה׃

KJV ⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

WLC ⁶ דַ֣עַת מִמֶּ֑נִּי נִ֝שְׂגְּבָ֗ה לֹא־ א֥וּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃

KJV ⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

WLC ⁷ אָ֭נָ֥ה אֵלֵ֣ךְ מֵרוּחֶ֑ךָ וְ֝אָ֗נָה מִפָּנֶ֥יךָ אֶבְרָֽח׃

KJV ⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

WLC ⁸ אִם־ אֶסַּ֣ק שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑תָּה וְאַצִּ֖יעָה שְּׁא֣וֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃

KJV ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

WLC ⁹ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי־ שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

WLC ¹⁰ גַּם־ שָׁ֭ם יָדְךָ֣ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

KJV ¹¹ If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

WLC ¹¹ וָ֭אֹמַר אַךְ־ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה א֣וֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי׃

KJV ¹² Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

WLC ¹² גַּם־ חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא־ יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיּ֣וֹם יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאוֹרָֽה׃

KJV ¹³ For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

WLC ¹³ כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ כִלְיֹתָ֑י תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗נִי בְּבֶ֣טֶן אִמִּֽי׃

KJV ¹⁴ I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

WLC ¹⁴ אֽוֹדְךָ֗ עַ֤ל כִּ֥י נוֹרָא֗וֹת נִ֫פְלֵ֥יתִי נִפְלָאִ֥ים מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יֹדַ֥עַת מְאֹֽד׃

KJV ¹⁵ My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

WLC ¹⁵ לֹא־ נִכְחַ֥ד עָצְמִ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ אֲשֶׁר־ עֻשֵּׂ֥יתִי בַסֵּ֑תֶר רֻ֝קַּ֗מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת אָֽרֶץ׃

KJV ¹⁶ Thine 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.

WLC ¹⁶ גָּלְמִ֤י ׀ רָ֘א֤וּ עֵינֶ֗יךָ וְעַֽל־ סִפְרְךָ֮ כֻּלָּ֪ם יִכָּ֫תֵ֥בוּ יָמִ֥ים יֻצָּ֑רוּ אֶחָ֣ד בָּהֶֽם׃

KJV ¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

WLC ¹⁷ וְלִ֗י מַה־ יָּקְר֣וּ רֵעֶ֣יךָ אֵ֑ל מֶ֥ה עָ֝צְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם׃

KJV ¹⁸ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

WLC ¹⁸ אֶ֭סְפְּרֵם מֵח֣וֹל יִרְבּ֑וּן הֱ֝קִיצֹ֗תִי וְעוֹדִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ׃

KJV ¹⁹ Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

WLC ¹⁹ אִם־ תִּקְטֹ֖ל אֱל֥וֹהַּ ׀ רָשָׁ֑ע וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים ס֣וּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃

KJV ²⁰ For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

WLC ²⁰ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹ֭אמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּ֑ה נָשֻׂ֖א לַשָּׁ֣וְא עָרֶֽיךָ׃

KJV ²¹ Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

WLC ²¹ הֲלֽוֹא־ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקוֹמְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃

KJV ²² I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

WLC ²² תַּכְלִ֣ית שִׂנְאָ֣ה שְׂנֵאתִ֑ים לְ֝אוֹיְבִ֗ים הָ֣יוּ לִֽי׃

KJV ²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

WLC ²³ חָקְרֵ֣נִי אֵ֭ל וְדַ֣ע לְבָבִ֑י בְּ֝חָנֵ֗נִי וְדַ֣ע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי׃

KJV ²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

WLC ²⁴ וּרְאֵ֗ה אִם־ דֶּֽרֶךְ־ עֹ֥צֶב בִּ֑י וּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עוֹלָֽם׃
