⁹ He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

¹¹ And Jehovah saith unto him, `Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?

¹² A hearing ear, and a seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.

⁴ `Jehovah `is' in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens `is' His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

³ Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

²¹ Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

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.

¹² Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as `is' darkness so `is' light.

¹ Wine `is' a scorner -- strong drink `is' noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise.

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.
