1
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O LORD, you have searched me, and known me.
2
You know my downsitting and my uprising, you understand my thought afar off.
3
You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5
You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7
Where shall I go from your Spirit? or where shall 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 morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10
Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12
Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
