English text

O Lord, you have searched me out and known me;
you know all my sitting down and rising;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You mark all journeys and my resting place
and are acquanited with all my ways.

For not a word is on my tongue
but, Lord, you know it altogether.
You encompass me, behind and before me,
you lay you hand upon me.

O where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I fless from your presence?
If I climb up to heaven you are there;
you are there if the grave is where I lie.

If I take thre wings of the morning,
or dwell in the depths of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
your right hand hold me fast.

You created my innermost parts;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I thank you for the wonder of my being,
I marvel at all your works.

Amen.
