1 To the chief musician, by David, a psalm. O Lord! thou hast searched me through, and thou knowest me.
2 Thou indeed knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou understandest my thinking while yet afar off.
3 My walking and my lying down hast thou limited, and with all my ways art thou acquainted.
4 For, while there is not a word on my tongue, lo, thou, O Lord, knowest it entirely.
5 Behind and before hast thou hedged me in, and thou placest upon me thy hand.
6 Too wonderful is such knowledge for me: it is too exalted, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee away from thy presence?
8 If I should ascend into heaven, thou art there; and if I should make my bed in the nether world, behold, thou art there.
9 If I should lift up the wings of the morning-dawn, if I should dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10 Even there would thy hand lead me, and thy right hand would seize hold of me.
11 If I said, Surely darkness shall enshroud me, and into night be turned the light about me:
12 Yet even darkness can obscure nothing from thee; but the night will shine like the day; both the darkness and the light are alike to thee.
