## Where Can I Go from Your Spirit? 

###### 1
O Yahweh, You have searched me and known _me_. 

###### 2
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. 

###### 3
You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. 

###### 4
Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Yahweh, You know it all. 

###### 5
You have enclosed me behind and before, And You have put Your hand upon me. 

###### 6
_Such_ knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is _too_ high, I cannot attain to it. 

###### 7
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 

###### 8
If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. 

###### 9
If I lift up the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, 

###### 10
Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. 

###### 11
If I say, "Surely the darkness will bruise me, And the light around me will be night," 

###### 12
Even the darkness is not too dark for You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike _to You_. 

###### 13
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. 

###### 14
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 

###### 15
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, _And_ intricately woven in the depths of the earth; 

###### 16
Your eyes have seen my unshaped substance; And in Your book all of them were written The days that were formed _for me_, When as yet there was not one of them. 

###### 17
How precious are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 

###### 18
If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. 

###### 19
Oh that You would slay the wicked, O God! O men of bloodshed, depart from me. 

###### 20
For they speak against You wickedly, And Your enemies take _Your name_ in vain. 

###### 21
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Yahweh? And do I not revile those who rise up against You? 

###### 22
I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies. 

###### 23
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; 

###### 24
And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
