NSB(i)
1 ([Psalm of David]) O Jehovah, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up. You understand my thought from afar.
3 You inspect my path and my lying down. You are intimately acquainted with my ways.
4 Even before I speak words from my tongue, behold, O Jehovah, You know it all.
5 You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
6 Knowing this is too wonderful for me! It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in the grave, behold, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there your hand will lead me. Your right hand will lay hold of me.
11 If I say: »Certainly the darkness will overwhelm me!« Then the light around me will be night.
12 Even the darkness is not dark to you. And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to you.
