 1.  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.

 2.  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.

 3.  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 long before I was born;
     How vast, O God, is the sum of Your thoughts!
