Psalm 139:2-4
New English Translation
2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;
even from far away you understand my motives.
3 You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest;[a]
you are aware of everything I do.[b]
4 Certainly[c] my tongue does not frame a word
without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it.[d]
