¹ O Lord, you have searched me and known me.^(A)
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from far away.^(B)
3 You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.^(C)
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
    O Lord, you know it completely.^(D)

²⁰ But you, O Lord of hosts, who judge righteously,
    who try the heart and the mind,
let me see your retribution upon them,
    for to you I have committed my cause.^(A)

¹⁸ Let my persecutors be shamed,
    but do not let me be shamed;
let them be dismayed,
    but do not let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of disaster;
    destroy them with double destruction!^(A)
