Excerpts
from Psalm 139
O
Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when
I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You
discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with
all my ways.
Before
a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
Where
can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed
in the depths, you are there.
If
I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side
of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right
hand will hold me fast.
If
I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light
become night around me," even the darkness will not be
dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness
is as light to you.
