RSV

NIV

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me!
1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
2 Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up; thou discernest my thoughts from afar.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
5 Thou dost beset me behind and before, and layest thy hand upon me.
5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
