Psalms 139:1-4
11O Lord, you examine me and know.
2You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.
3You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest; you are aware of everything I do.
4Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it.
