5 You hem me in behind and before,

and you lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too lofty for me to attain.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

it is high; I cannot attain it.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,

And laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

5 You have hedged me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain it.

5 You are all around me—in front and in back—

and have put your hand on me.

6 Your knowledge is amazing to me;

it is more than I can understand.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,

And laid thy hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me. 6 O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

5 You are all around me—in front of me and in back of me. 

You lay your hand on me. 

6 Such knowledge is beyond my grasp. 

It is so high I cannot reach it. 

5 You have encircled me;

You have placed Your hand on me.

6 This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me.

It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

it is so high that I cannot attain it.

5 You barricade me behind and in front,

and set your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.

It is set high; I cannot prevail against it.

5 You are all around me. You are behind me and in front of me.

You hold me in your power.

6 I’m amazed at how well you know me.

It’s more than I can understand.

5 You have enclosed me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
