1. O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.
3. Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.
4. For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10. Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;
12. Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13. For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.
