God's Omnipresence and Omniscience.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. |
|
|
 |
| Psalm 139:1 |
|
O LORD, You have searched me and known me. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:2 |
|
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:3 |
|
You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And
are intimately acquainted with all my ways. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:4 |
|
Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold,
O LORD, You know it all. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:5 |
|
You have enclosed me behind and before, And
laid Your hand upon me. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:6 |
|
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is
too high, I cannot attain to it. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:7 |
|
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can
I flee from Your presence? |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:8 |
|
If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make
my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:9 |
|
If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell
in the remotest part of the sea, |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:10 |
|
Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your
right hand will lay hold of me. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:11 |
|
If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm
me, And the light around me will be night," |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:12 |
|
Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the
night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:13 |
|
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me
in my mother's womb. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:14 |
|
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:15 |
|
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was
made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:16 |
|
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And
in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet
there was not one of them. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:17 |
|
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O
God! How vast is the sum of them! |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:18 |
|
If I should count them, they would outnumber
the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:19 |
|
O that You would slay the wicked, O God; Depart
from me, therefore, men of bloodshed. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:20 |
|
For they speak against You wickedly, And Your
enemies take Your name in vain. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 139:21 |
|
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And
do I not loathe those who rise up against You? |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:22 |
|
I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have
become my enemies. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:23 |
|
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me
and know my anxious thoughts; |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 139:24 |
|
And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And
lead me in the everlasting way. |
