Berean Standard Bible
1In finem. Psalmus David.
1O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2[Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
2You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.
3Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.
3You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.
4Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
4Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.
5Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
5You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.
6absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ.
7Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?
8Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.
8If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
9Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,
10Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
10even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.
11Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem dejicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—
12Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.
12even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
13Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum.
13For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.]
14I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
