6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all? They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge; Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
For I am more like a beast than any man, I have no power of reasoning like a man: I have not got wisdom by teaching, so that I might have the knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

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.
