That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known {me}.

For the ways of man {are} before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

For his eyes {are} upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes {are} open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: {work: Heb. doing}

He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. {lookest...: Heb. observest} {heels: Heb. roots}

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

For the ways of man {are} before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct {him}? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted {with} all my ways. {compassest: or, winnowest}

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. {lookest...: Heb. observest} {heels: Heb. roots}

I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
