Psalm 139<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1<\/span><\/sup> O Lord, you have examined my heart
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and know everything about me.
\n\u00a0<\/span>2<\/span><\/sup> You know when I sit down or stand up.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You know my thoughts even when I\u2019m far away.
\n\u00a0<\/span>3<\/span><\/sup> You see me when I travel
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and when I rest at home.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You know everything I do.
\n\u00a0<\/span>4<\/span><\/sup> You know what I am going to say
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0even before I say it, Lord.
\n\u00a0<\/span>5<\/span><\/sup> You go before me and follow me.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You place your hand of blessing on my head.
\n\u00a0<\/span>6<\/span><\/sup> Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0too great for me to understand! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>7<\/span><\/sup> I can never escape from your Spirit!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I can never get away from your presence!
\n\u00a0<\/span>8<\/span><\/sup> If I go up to heaven, you are there;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0if I go down to the grave,<\/span>[<\/span>a<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/sup> you are there.
\n\u00a0<\/span>9<\/span><\/sup> If I ride the wings of the morning,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
\n\u00a0<\/span>10<\/span><\/sup> even there your hand will guide me,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and your strength will support me.
\n\u00a0<\/span>11<\/span><\/sup> I could ask the darkness to hide me
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and the light around me to become night\u2014
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>12<\/span><\/sup> but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To you the night shines as bright as day.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Darkness and light are the same to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>13<\/span><\/sup> You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb.
\n\u00a0<\/span>14<\/span><\/sup> Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Your workmanship is marvelous\u2014how well I know it.
\n\u00a0<\/span>15<\/span><\/sup> You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
\n\u00a0<\/span>16<\/span><\/sup> You saw me before I was born.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Every moment was laid out
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0before a single day had passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>17<\/span><\/sup> How precious are your thoughts about me,<\/span>[<\/span>b<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/sup> O God.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They cannot be numbered!
\n\u00a0<\/span>18<\/span><\/sup> I can\u2019t even count them;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0they outnumber the grains of sand!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And when I wake up,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0you are still with me!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>19<\/span><\/sup> O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Get out of my life, you murderers!
\n\u00a0<\/span>20<\/span><\/sup> They blaspheme you;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0your enemies misuse your name.
\n\u00a0<\/span>21<\/span><\/sup> O Lord, shouldn\u2019t I hate those who hate you?
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Shouldn\u2019t I despise those who oppose you?
\n\u00a0<\/span>22<\/span><\/sup> Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for your enemies are my enemies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>23<\/span><\/sup> Search me, O God, and know my heart;
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0test me and know my anxious thoughts.
\n\u00a0<\/span>24<\/span><\/sup> Point out anything in me that offends you,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and lead me along the path of everlasting life.<\/span><\/p>\n
