If I climb to the heavens 

you are there,

if I fly to the sunrise 

or sail beyond the sea,

Still I'd find you there.

And you lead me

In my mother's womb.

Even if I could count them, 

they number as the stars,

You would still be there.

O Lord, I know you are near,

Standing always at my side.

You guard me from the foe,

And you lead me
