¹ You have searched me,^(A) Lord,
    and you know^(B) me.
² You know when I sit and when I rise;^(C)
    you perceive my thoughts^(D) from afar.
³ You discern my going out^(E) and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.^(F)
4 Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.^(G)
5 You hem me in^(H) behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,^(I)
    too lofty^(J) for me to attain.
