Lord, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You trace my journeys and my resting places and are acquainted with all my ways.
Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O Lord, know it altogether.
You press upon me behind and before and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I can not attain to it.
Where can I go then from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I climb up to heaven, you are there; if I make the grave my bed, you are there also.
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea.
Even there your hand will lead me and our right hand hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me, and the light around me turn to night."
Darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day; darkness and light to you are both alike.
Search me out, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my restless thoughts.
Look well whether there be any wickedness in me and lead me in the way that is everlasting.
