Psalms 139:2

Psalms 139:2. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

"What I do, and what I do not do; my downsitting for rest, and my uprising for action ; - thou knowest me altogether, my most trivial deeds, and my most important movements. My thoughts are so well known to thee that, even before I think them, thou knowest what they will be. Thou needest not to come near to me in order to know me; so strong is thine eye that if thou only lookest at me from a vast distance as a man looks at a star in the midnight airy, ‘ thou understandest my thought afar off.’ What I think, and why I think it, whether it be sorrowful or hopeful, thou understandest my thought. Sometimes, I cannot understand it myself, but thou always understandest it."
