V. Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, * but you, O Lord, know it altogether. | |
Refrain. | |
V. You press upon me behind and before * and lay your hand upon me. | |
V. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; * it is so high that I cannot attain to it. | |
V. Where can I go then from your Spirit? * where can I flee from your presence? | |
Refrain. | |
V. If I climb up to heaven, you are there; * if I make the grave my bed, you are there also. | |
V. If I take the wings of the morning * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, | |
V. Even there your hand will lead me * and your right hand hold me fast. | |

V. Conoces mi sentarme y mi levantarme; * percibes de lejos mis pensamientos. | |
V. Observas mis viajes y mis lugares de reposo, * y todos mis caminos te son conocidos. | |
V. Aún no está la palabra en mis labios, * y he aquí, oh Señor, tú la conoces. | |
Antífona. | |
V. Me rodeas delante y detrás, * y sobre mí pones tu mano. | |
V. Tal conocimiento es demasiado maravilloso para mí; * sublime es, y no lo puedo alcanzar. | |
V. ¿A dónde huiré de tu Espíritu? * ¿A dónde huiré de tu presencia? | |
Antífona. | |
V. Si subiere a los cielos, allí estás tú; * si en el abismo hiciere mi lecho, allí estás también. | |

V. Aun allí me guiará tu mano, * y me asirá tu diestra. | |
