1
Yahweh, you have searched me, And you know me.
2
You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3
You search out my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.
4
For there is not a word on my tongue, But, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.
5
You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
6
This knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty. I can`t attain it.
7
Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
8
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
9
If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10
Even there your hand will lead me, And your right hand will hold me.
11
If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; The light around me will be night;"
12
Even the darkness doesn`t hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
