Psalm 139:1-12


Oh LORD,
you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You procede
and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!
I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven,
you are there;
if I go down to the place of the dead,
you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there
your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hid me
and the light to become night-
but even in darkness
I cannot hide from you.
