Psalm 139:5
New International Version
5 You hem me in(A) behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Psalm 139:5-6
The Message
139 1-6 God, investigate my life;
get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
then up ahead and you’re there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can’t take it all in!
Psalm 139:5

You have enclosed me behind and before,
And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.
Psalm 139:5

5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Psalm 139:5

5 You have [a]hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
