1. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
3. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
4. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all.
5. You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
7. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8. If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
9. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10. Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
