5. Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6. Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8. If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.
9. If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10. Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11. And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12. But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.
14. I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
