⁹ He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?

¹¹ Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

¹² The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them.

⁴ Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

³ You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

²¹ Won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

¹ > Yahweh, you have searched me, And you know me.

² You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

³ You search out my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.

⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue, But, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

⁵ You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.

⁶ This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.

⁷ Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?

⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

⁹ If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰ Even there your hand will lead me, And your right hand will hold me.

¹¹ If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; The light around me will be night;"

¹² Even the darkness doesn't hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

¹ Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler; Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

²³ Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off?

²⁴ Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
