Psalm 139

God’s Attributes—Too Wonderful for Me!

Heading
For the choir director. By David. A psalm.

God Is All-Knowing

Lord, you have investigated me,
and you know.
You know when I sit down and when I get up.
You understand my thoughts from far off.
You keep track of when I travel and when I stay,[a]
and you are familiar with all my ways.
Before there is a word on my tongue,
    you, Lord, already know it completely.
You put a fence behind me and in front of me,
and you have placed your hand on me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
It is too high—I cannot grasp it.
