1LordH3068, You have 1searchedH2713 me and knownH3045 me.2You 2knowH3045 3when I sitH3427 downH3427 and 4when I getH6965 upH6965; You 5understandH995 my thoughtH7454 from farH7350 awayH7350.3You 67scrutinizeH2219 my 8pathH734 and my lyingH7250 downH7250, And areH5532 acquaintedH5532 withH5532 allH3605 my waysH1870.49Even beforeH369 thereH369 isH369 a wordH4405 on my tongueH3956, BeholdH2005, LordH3068, You 10knowH3045 it allH3605.5You have 11encircledH6696 me behindH268 and in frontH6924, And 12placedH7896 Your handH3709 upon me.6Such 13knowledgeH1847 is 14tooH4480 wonderfulH6383 for me; It isH7682 too highH7682, I cannotH3201H3808 comprehendH3201 it.
715WhereH575 can I goH1980 from Your SpiritH7307? Or whereH575 can I fleeH1272 from Your presenceH6440?816IfH518 I ascendH5559 to heavenH8064, You are thereH8033; If I makeH3331 my bedH3331 in 17SheolH7585, beholdH2009, 18You are there.9If I takeH5375 upH5375 the wingsH3671 of the dawnH7837, If I dwellH7931 in the remotestH319 partH319 of the seaH3220,10EvenH1571 thereH8033 Your handH3027 will 19leadH5148 me, And Your rightH3225 handH3225 will takeH270 holdH270 of me.
