4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Many Bible Versions
5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Many Bible Versions

7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Many Bible Versions
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Many Bible Versions
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Many Bible Versions
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Many Bible Versions

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

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! Many Bible Versions
18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Many Bible Versions
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. Many Bible Versions
20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Many Bible Versions
21Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? Many Bible Versions

23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: Many Bible Versions
24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Many Bible Versions
