Thou art before me, Lord,
thou art behind,
And thou above me
hast spread out thy hand;
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
Too high to grasp, too great to understand.
Then whither from thy Spirit shall I go,
And whither from thy presence shall I flee?
If I ascend to heaven thou art there,
And in the lowest depths I meet with thee.
If I should take my flight into the dawn,
If I should dwell on ocean’s farthest shore,
Thy mighty hand would rest upon me still,
And thy right hand
would guard me evermore.
If I should say, ‘Darkness will cover me,
And I shall hide within the veil of night’,
Surely the darkness is not dark to thee,
The night is as the day, the darkness light.
Search me, O God, search me
and know my heart;
Try me, O God, my mind and spirit try;
Keep me from any path
that gives thee pain,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
