You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD.

You know when I sit down and when I stand up; you understand my thoughts from far away.

Before a word is on my tongue, you know all about it,  LORD.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

GOD, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too— your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful— I can’t take it all in!

Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, LORD, You know it all.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do]; You understand my thought from afar. [Matt 9:4; John 2:24, 25]

Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken], Behold, O LORD, You know it all. [Heb 4:13]

You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O LORD, being thoroughly aware of it.
