1. O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me.
2. You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off. [Matt. 9:4; John 2:24, 25.]
3. You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways.
4. For there is not a word in my tongue [still unuttered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. [Heb. 4:13.]
5. You have beset me and shut me in–behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me.
