SPEECH CHOIR 11-CHRYSOLITE
LORD, you have probed me, you know me:
you know when I sit and stand
you understand my thoughts from afar.
You sift through my travels and my rest;
with all my ways you are familiar.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
LORD, you know it all.
Behind and before you encircle me
and rest your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
far too lofty for me to reach.
Where can I go from your spirit?
From your presence, where can I flee?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I lie down in Sheol, there you are.
If I take the wings of dawn
and dwell beyond the sea,
Even there your hand guides me
your right hand holds me fast.
IfI say, "Surely darkness shall hide me,
and night shall be my light"l
Darkness is not dark for you,
and night shines as the day.
Darkness and light are but one.
You formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother's womb.
I praise you, because l am wonderfully
made;
Wonderful are your works!
My very self you know.
My bones are not hidden from you,
When I was being made in secret,
fashioned in the depths of the earth.e
Your eyes saw me unformed;
in your book all are written down,
my days were shaped, before one came
to be.
How precious to me are your designs, O
God;
how vast the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the sands;
when I complete them, still you are with
me.
When you would destroy the wicked, o
God,
the bloodthirsty depart from me!)
Your foes who conspire a plot against you
are exalted in vain.
Do I not hate, LOrRD, those who hate you?
Those who rise against you, do I not
loathe?D
With fierce hatred I hate them,
enemiesI count as my own.
Probe me, God, know my heart;
try me, know my thoughts.
See if there is a wicked path in me;
