    1For the music director, a psalm of David. O LORD, you examine me and know.

    2You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

    3You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest; you are aware of everything I do.

    4Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O LORD, being thoroughly aware of it.

    5You squeeze me in from behind and in front; you place your hand on me.

    6Your knowledge is beyond my comprehension; it is so far beyond me, I am unable to fathom it.
