3. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do.

4. Lord, you know what I want to say, even before the words leave my mouth.

6. I am amazed at what you know; it is too much for me to understand.

7. Your Spirit is everywhere I go. I cannot escape your presence.

9. If I go east where the sun rises or go to live in the west beyond the sea,
