11 And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
Is not +God in the height of the heavens? And behold the summit of the stars: how exalted are they! And thou sayest, What doth ùGod know? will he judge through the dark cloud? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh on the vault of the heavens.
He saith in his heart, ùGod hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it]. Arise, Jehovah; O ùGod, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [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.
