a reminder

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! 

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

you discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path and my lying down

and are acquainted with all my ways.

Even before a word is on my tongue,

behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

You hem me in, behind and before,

and lay your hand upon me.

 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

it is high; I cannot attain it.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? 

Or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, you are there! 

If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I take the wings of the morning

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there your hand shall lead me,

and your right hand shall hold me.

If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me,

and the light about me be night,"

even the darkness is not dark to you;

the night is bright as the day,

for darkness is as light with you.

Psalm 139:1-12
