O LORD , you have searched me
\nand you know me.
\nYou know when I sit and when I rise;
\nyou perceive my thoughts from afar.
\nYou discern my going out and my lying down;
\nyou are familiar with all my ways.
\nBefore a word is on my tongue
\nyou know it completely, O LORD .<\/p>\n

You hem me in-behind and before;
\nyou have laid your hand upon me.
\nSuch knowledge is too wonderful for me,
\ntoo lofty for me to attain.<\/p>\n

Where can I go from your Spirit?
\nWhere can I flee from your presence?
\nIf I go up to the heavens, you are there;
\nif I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
\nIf I rise on the wings of the dawn,
\nif I settle on the far side of the sea,
\neven there your hand will guide me,
\nyour right hand will hold me fast.<\/p>\n

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
\nand the light become night around me,”
\neven the darkness will not be dark to you;
\nthe night will shine like the day,
\nfor darkness is as light to you.<\/p>\n

For you created my inmost being;
\nyou knit me together in my mother’s womb.
\nI praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
\nyour works are wonderful,
\nI know that full well.
\nMy frame was not hidden from you
\nwhen I was made in the secret place.
\nWhen I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
\nyour eyes saw my unformed body.
\nAll the days ordained for me
\nwere written in your book
\nbefore one of them came to be.<\/p>\n

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
\nHow vast is the sum of them!
\nWere I to count them,
\nthey would outnumber the grains of sand.
\nWhen I awake,
\nI am still with you. <\/strong>
\n–Psalm 139:1-18<\/p>\n

If to Heaven’s heights I fly,
\nYou are still beside me. <\/p>\n

Or in death’s dark shadows lie,
\nYou will stay close by me. <\/p>\n

If I flee on morning wings,
\nFar across the gray sea;
\nEven there your hand will lead,
\nYour right hand will guide me.<\/em>
