²⁸ And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thy anger towards Me.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.

² Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

³ My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And `with' all my ways hast been acquainted.

⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

⁵ Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.

⁶ Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

⁷ Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

⁸ If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou `art', And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!

⁹ I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,

¹⁰ Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.

¹¹ And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night `is' light to me.

²¹ For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.

³ In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.

²³ A God near `am' I -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And not a God afar off?

²⁴ Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹³ I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell -- where the throne of the Adversary `is' -- and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas `was' my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.
