139

PSALM 139: 1-6 & 13-16

O LORD, you have examined my heart

   and know everything about me.

You know when I sit down or stand up.

   You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.

You see me when I travel

   and when I rest at home.

   You know everything I do.

You know what I'm going to say

   even before I say it, Lord.

You go before me and follow me.

   You place your hand of blessing on my head.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

   too great for me to understand!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

   and knit me together in my mother's womb.

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

   Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know it.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,

   as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

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.
