1. For the leader. A psalm of David.Lord, you have probed me, you know me:

2. you know when I sit and stand;you understand my thoughts from afar.

3. You sift through my travels and my rest;with all my ways you are familiar.

4. Even before a word is on my tongue,Lord, you know it all.

5. Behind and before you encircle meand rest your hand upon me.

6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,far too lofty for me to reach.
