Psalm 139:1-8 NIV

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

    1 O LORD, you have searched me
       and you know me.

    2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
       you perceive my thoughts from afar.

    3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
       you are familiar with all my ways.

    4 Before a word is on my tongue
       you know it completely, O LORD.

    5 You hem me in—behind and before;
       you have laid your hand upon me.

    6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
       too lofty for me to attain.

    7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
       Where can I flee from your presence?

    8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
       if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
