4For there is not a word in my tongue,
But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid thy hand upon me.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.

you know all about it, Lord.

It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.

You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
You go before me and follow me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

For there is not a word yet on my tongue,
but behold, O Yahweh, you know it completely.
You barricade me behind and in front,
and set your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
It is set high; I cannot prevail against it.
