- O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
- You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
- You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
- Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
- You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
|
- O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
- You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
- You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
- Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
- You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
|
- Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
- Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
- If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
- If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
- even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
|
- Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
- Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
- If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
- If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
- Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
|
- If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
- even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
|
- If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"
- Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day Darkness and light are alike to You.
