Psalms 139:1-10

1O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me.

2You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do]; You understand my thought from afar.

3You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.

4Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken], Behold, O Lord, You know it all.

5You have enclosed me behind and before, And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.

6Such [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high [above me], I cannot reach it.

7Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.

9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

10Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will take hold of me.
