To the chief Musicain, A Psalm of David
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCXXXIX (1742) First Line: O Lord, thou dost me search and know Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou dost me search and know,
Thou know'st my sitting down,
2 My rising up, my thought also
To thee far off is known.
3 Thou fann'st my path and lying down,
And all my ways kmow'st well.
4 For !o each word that's in my tongue,
Lord, thou can'st fully tell.
5 Behind thou gird'st me, and before,
On me dost lay thine hand
6 Such high and wond'rous skill is more
Than I can comprehend.
7 Where shall I from thy spirit go?
Or from thy face where fiy?
8 If heav'n I climb thou there? lo thou
If down in hell I lie.
9 If morning wings I take, and dwell
Where utmost sea-coasts be.
10 Ev'n there thy hand conduct me shall,
And thy right hand hold me.
11 Yea darkness sure shall cover me,
If that I thus shall say:
Then shall the night about me be
Like to the lightsome day.
12 Yea darkness darkneth not from thee,
But like the day shines night:
Alike unto thee both these be,
The darkness and the light.
[2]
13 For thou my reins possessed hast,
And also cover'd me,
Within my mother's womb thou hast.
14 My praise shall be of thee;
Because that 1 am fashion'd thus
In fearful wond'rous wise;
And that thy works are marvellous,
My soul right well descries.
15 From thee my substance was not hid,
When closely made was I;
And when that I was fashioned
In earth's deeps curiously.
16 Thine eyes did on my substance look,
When yet I wanted frame:
And all my members in thy book
Were written down by name.
Which day by day should fashion'd be,
When none of them were come.
17 How precious are thy thoughts to me,
God! how great's their sum?
18 If I of them account should take,
More than the sands they be.
And still when that I do awake,
I present am with thee.
[3]
19 O God, thou surely wilt them slay
That wicked persons be;
Depart therefore from hence away,
Ye men of blood, from me.
20 Because that they against thee do
Speak in mischievous wise.
Thy name in vain they take also,
Who are thine enemies.
21 Jehovah, hate I not the men
That thee do hate? likewise
Am I not sore aggriev'd with them
That up against thee rise?
22 With perfect hate them hate do I,
I take them for my foes.
23 Search me, O God, my heart descry,
Try me, my thoughts disclose.
24 Behold in me if fhat there be
Ev'n any wicked way;
And in the way conduct thou me
That doth endure for aye.

A Psalm of David
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #PCXXXIX (1758) First Line: O Lord, thou dost me search and know Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou dost me search and know:
2 Thou know'st my sitting down;
My rising up, and all my tho'ts,
to Thee far off are known.
3 Thou compassest my path and bed,
and knowest all my ways:
4 And ev'ry word that moves my tongue,
O LORD, thine eye surveys.
5 Thou hast best me round about,
and on me laid thy hand.
6 Such knowledge wondrous is to me,
too high to understand.
7 Where shall I from thy spirit go;
or from thy presence fly?
8 If heav'n I climb, lo Thou art There;
There if in hell I lie.
9 If morning wings I take, and dwell
where utmost sea coasts are;
10 Ev'n there thy hand shall lead me on,
and thy right hand me bear.
11 Or if I say, the darkness shall
conceal me from thy sight;
The darkest night shall then to Thee,
around me, all be light.
12 For darkness darkens not to Thee;
but night as day shines clear:
Thick darkness and the shining light
to Thee alike appear.
[2 Part]
13 Because thou hast possest my reigns,
and safely cover'd me
Within my tender mother's womb;
14 my praise shall be of Thee;
For fearfully and wondrously,
Thou didst my frame compose;
Thy works in me are marvellous;
and that my soul well knows.
15 When first I was in secret made,
my substance Thou didst know;
while I most curiously was wrought,
as in dark caves below.
16 Thine eyes my shapeless substance saw
and written in thy book
Were all my members tho' not made,
which after fashion took.
17 How precious also to my soul
are thy sweet thoughts become?
O God, how numerous they grow,
how vast their growing sum?
18 If I should number them, their sum
more than the sand would be:
And still whenever I awake
I present am with Thee.
[3 Part]
19 O God, Thou surely wilt them slay,
who wicked persons are:
And therefore all ye men of blood,
depart from me afar.
20 For they against Thee wickedly
speak out with tongues profane:
And they who are thine enemies,
take thy great name in vain.
21 JEHOVAH! hate I not all those,
who hatred show to Thee?
And those who up against The rise,
am I not griev'd to see?
22 Yea I abhor them utterly,
who up against Thee rise;
And all who show themselves thy foes,
I count mine enemies.
23 O gracious God, I beg Thee make
a thorough search of me;
And know my heart, me strictly try,
my thoughts within me see.
24 And see if any way of sin
in me indulged be;
And in thy way to endless bliss
for ever lead Thou me.
