O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. |
2
|
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. |
3
|
You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. |
4
|
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. |
5
|
You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. |
6
|
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! |
7
|
I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! |
8
|
If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. |
9
|
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, |
10
|
even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. |
11
|
I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night-- |
12
|
but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. |
13
|
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. |
14
|
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-- how well I know it. |
15
|
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. |
16
|
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. |
17
|
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! |
18
|
I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! |
19
|
O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! |
20
|
They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name. |
21
|
O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Shouldn't I despise those who oppose you? |
22
|
Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies. |
23
|
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. |
24
|
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. For the choir director: A psalm of David. |
