Psalms 139:2–8

2

You know my sitting down and my rising up.

You perceive my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down,

and are acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word on my tongue,

but behold, LORD, you know it altogether.

Selected verse

You hem me in behind and before.

You laid your hand on me.

6

This knowledge is beyond me.

It’s 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!
