¹¹ And they say, ^(A)“How can God know?
    Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

¹² At that time ^(A)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
    and I will punish the men
^(B)who are complacent,^{[a]
    (C)}those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
    nor will he do ill.’

² But they do not consider
    that ^(A)I remember all their evil.
Now ^(B)their deeds surround them;
    ^(C)they are before my face.

^7 (A)and they say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

¹³ But you say, ^(A)‘What does God know?
    Can he judge through ^(B)the deep darkness?
^14 (C)Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see,
    and he walks on the vault of heaven.’

139 O Lord, you have ^(A)searched me and known me!
² You ^(B)know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you ^(C)discern my thoughts from afar.
³ You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, ^(D)you know it altogether.
⁵ You ^(E)hem me in, behind and before,
    and ^(F)lay your hand upon me.
^6 (G)Such knowledge is ^(H)too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

⁹ They set their mouths against the heavens,
    and their tongue struts through the earth.

^21 (A)would not God discover this?
    ^(B)For he knows the secrets of the heart.
