1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
    and know everything about me.

2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
    You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

3 You see me when I travel
    and when I rest at home.
    You know everything I do.

4 You know what I am going to say
    even before I say it, Lord.

5 You go before me and follow me.
    You place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
    I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
    if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
    and your strength will support me...
