Psalms 139:5 Context
3Thou compassest my path, and my lying downe, and art acquainted with all my wayes. 4For there is not a worde in my tongue: but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5Thou hast beset me behind, and before: and laid thine hand vpon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderfull for me: it is high, I cannot attaine vnto it. 7Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? or whither shall I flie from thy presence?
