O Lord

O Lord, you have searched me,
  and known me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
  you perceive my thoughts from afar.
My travels and my rest you mark;
  you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
  you know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in – behind and before;
  you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
  too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your spirit?
  Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
  if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
  if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
  your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, “Surely darkness will hide me
  and the light become night around me,”
  even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
  for darkness is as light to you.
