O Lord, thou hast searched me, and | known- | me.
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising;
Thou understandest my thought a- far-off.

Thou compassest my path, and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.

But lo, O LORD, thou | knowest..it | al-to-| gether.

It is high, I cannot..at- tain un- to it.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from | thy-presence?

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there;

If I make my bed in | hell, be- hold..thou art | there.

If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost | parts..of the | sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right..hand shall hold

me.
