1For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know me.
2You know when I sit down and when I get up; you understand my thoughts from far away.
3You observe my path and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4For before there is a word on my tongue, you know it completely, Yahweh.
5Behind me and before me you surround me and place your hand upon me.
