139:1  O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
139:2  You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought.
139:3  You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am.
139:4  You know what I am going to say before I even say it.
139:5  You both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head.
139:6  This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe!
139:7  I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God!
139:8  If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
139:9  If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans,
139:10  even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me.
139:11  If I try to hide in the darkness, the night becomes light around me.
139:12  For even darkness cannot hide from God; to you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.
139:13  You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb.
139:14  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.
139:15  You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion!
139:16  You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!
139:17  How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!
139:18  How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!
139:19  Surely you will slay the wicked, Lord! Away, bloodthirsty men! Begone!
139:20  They blaspheme your name and stand in arrogance against you—how silly can they be?
139:21  O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I be grieved with them?
139:22  Yes, I hate them, for your enemies are my enemies too.
139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts.
139:24  Point out anything you find in me that makes you sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
