Book - Psalms - Chapter = 139 --> NLT
-
O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
-
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away.
-
You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am.
-
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD.
-
You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.
-
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!
-
I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence!
-
If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
-
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
-
even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.
-
I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night--
-
but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.
-
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--and 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.
-
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable!
-
I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!
-
O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!
-
They blaspheme you; your enemies take your name in vain.
-
O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Shouldn't I despise those who resist you?
-
Yes, I hate them with complete hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.
-
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts.
-
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
