Psalms 139:1-7

1Lord, You have 1searched me and known me.2You 2know 3when I sit down and 4when I get up; You 5understand my thought from far away.3You 67scrutinize my 8path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.49Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You 10know it all.5You have 11encircled me behind and in front, And 12placed Your hand upon me.6Such 13knowledge is 14too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it.

715Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
