4. Even before a word is on my tongue,Lord, you know it all.
5. Behind and before you encircle meand rest your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,far too lofty for me to reach.
7. Where can I go from your spirit?From your presence, where can I flee?
8. If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;if I lie down in Sheol, there you are.
9. If I take the wings of dawnand dwell beyond the sea,
10. Even there your hand guides me,your right hand holds me fast.
