God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, aYou have searched me and known me. 
2 aYou know my sitting down and my rising up;
You bunderstand my thought afar off. 
3 aYou1 comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways. 
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, aYou know it altogether. 
5 You have1 hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me. 
6 aSuch knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. 
7 aWhere can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence? 
8 aIf I ascend into heaven, You are there;
bIf I make my bed in1 hell, behold, You are there.
