5. Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
6. Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
7. Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
8. If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near.
9. If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
10. even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
11. And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
12. But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
13. For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
14. I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
