139 O Lord, you have p searched me and known me!
2 You q know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you r discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, s you know it altogether.
5 You t hem me in, behind and before,
and u lay your hand upon me.
6 v Such knowledge is w too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 x Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where y shall I flee from your presence?
8 z If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
a If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall b lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, c “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 d even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
23 q “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? 24 q Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. r Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
