¹ Lord, you have searched me and known me.^(A)
2 You know when I sit down and when I stand up;
you understand my thoughts from far away.^(B)
3 You observe my travels and my rest;
you are aware of all my ways.^(C)
4 Before a word is on my tongue,
you know all about it, Lord.^(D)
5 You have encircled me;
you have placed your hand on me.^(E)
6 This wondrous knowledge is beyond me.
It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.^(F)

²¹ For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,^(A)
and he considers all his paths.^(B)
