1. Lord, you have examined meand know all about me.
2. You know when I sit down and when I get up.You know my thoughts before I think them.
3. You know where I go and where I lie down.You know everything I do.
4. Lord, even before I say a word,you already know it.
5. You are all around me—in front and in back—and have put your hand on me.
6. Your knowledge is amazing to me;it is more than I can understand.
7. Where can I go to get away from your Spirit?Where can I run from you?
8. If I go up to the heavens, you are there.If I lie down in the grave, you are there.
9. If I rise with the sun in the eastand settle in the west beyond the sea,
10. even there you would guide me.With your right hand you would hold me.
11. I could say, “The darkness will hide me.Let the light around me turn into night.”
