Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 139 of Psalms. Psalm 139 explores God’s exhaustive knowledge of the individual. God knows sitting, rising, thoughts, ways, and words before they are spoken. Divine omnipresence makes escape from his Spirit impossible, whether in heaven, the depths, or the farthest sea. Reflection on formation in the womb leads to wonder at God’s creative work. Finally, the psalmist asks this divine knowledge to examine and guide his way.

Von allen Seiten umgibst du mich und hältst deine Hand über mir.
Detrás y delante me guarneciste, Y sobre mí pusiste tu mano.
Me rodeas por detrás y por delante, y has puesto tu mano sobre mí.
Tu m'entoures par derrière et par devant, Et tu mets ta main sur moi.
Tu mi strigni dietro e davanti; E mi metti la mano addosso.
Tu me cercaste por detrás e por diante, e puseste sobre mim a tua mão.
你前後環繞我, 按手在我身上。
