Lord You have searched and have compassed my path. You, O Eternal God, know all my ways. You are before me and You are behind; There is no word on my tongue that You miss; My downfall and my uprising You know; Your knowledge, Lord, is so far above me. Where shall I go from Your spirit, O God? Where shall I flee from Your presence, O Lord? If up to heaven, behold You are there; If down to hell, You would soon find me there; If I take wings or dwell far out at sea; Even Your right hand shall hold me, O God. O Lord, You have formed my inward parts, You knitted me in my mother’s womb I'm fear-fully and wondrously made; Your works are marvelous; my soul knows well. My frame was not concealed from You, O Lord, You write in Your book, all my days ordained. Though darkness comes and the night covers me, Even the darkness hides nothing from God. Yea, even darkness shall shine as the day; To the Eternal they both are alike; He knew my life ere before I was born; How vast, O God, is the sum of Your thoughts!
