11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
Uncovering deep things out of the dark, and making the deep shade bright;
And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are! And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark? Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.
He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it. Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor. Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

PSALM 139
Ps 139:1-24. After presenting the sublime doctrines of God's omnipresence and omniscience, the Psalmist appeals to Him, avowing his innocence, his abhorrence of the wicked, and his ready submission to the closest scrutiny. Admonition to the wicked and comfort to the pious are alike implied inferences from these doctrines.
