Psalm 139
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. O LORD, you have examined my heart
|
|
|
|
and know everything about me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. You know when I sit down or stand up.
|
|
|
|
You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. You see me when I travel
|
|
|
|
and when I rest at home.
|
|
|
|
You know everything I do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. You know what I am going to say
|
|
even before I say it, LORD.
|
|
|
|
5. You go before me and follow me.
|
|
|
|
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
|
|
|
|
too great for me to understand!
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. I can never escape from your Spirit!
|
|
|
|
I can never get away from your presence!
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. If I go up to heaven, you are there;
|
|
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
|
|
|
|
9. If I ride the wings of the morning,
|
|
|
|
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. even there your hand will guide me,
|
|
|
|
and your strength will support me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. I could ask the darkness to hide me
|
|
|
|
and the light around me to become night--
|
|
|
|
12. but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
|
|
|
|
To you the night shines as bright as day.
|
|
|
|
Darkness and light are the same to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
|
|
|
|
and knit me together in my mother's womb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
|
|
Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it.
|
|
|
|
15. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
|
|
|
|
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. You saw me before I was born.
|
|
|
|
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
|
|
|
|
Every moment was laid out
|
|
|
|
before a single day had passed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
|
|
|
|
They cannot be numbered!
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. I can't even count them;
|
|
|
|
they outnumber the grains of sand!
|
|
And when I wake up,
|
|
|
|
you are still with me!
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
|
|
|
|
Get out of my life, you murderers!
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. They blaspheme you;
|
|
|
|
your enemies misuse your name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you?
|
|
|
|
Shouldn't I despise those who oppose you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
|
|
|
|
for your enemies are my enemies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
|
|
|
|
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. Point out anything in me that offends you,
|
|
|
|
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
