Psalms 139 - Prayer Tents

139[For the choir director: A psalm of David.] O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.H5329H4210H1732H3068H2713H3045 2You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.H3045H3427H6965H995H7454H7350 3You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.H2219H734H7252H5532H1870 4You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.H4405H3956H3068H3045 5You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.H6696H268H6924H7896H3709 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!H1847H6383H6383H7682H3201 7I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!H3212H7307H1272H6440 8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.H5266H8064H3331H7585 9If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,H5375H3671H7837H7931H319H3220 10even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.H3027H5148H3225H270 11I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night -H559H2822H7779H3915H216H1157 12but 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.H2822H2821H3915H215H3117H2825H219 13You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.H7069H3629H5526H517H990 14Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.H3034H3372H6395H6381H4639H5315H3045H3966 15You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.H6108H3582H6213H5643H7551H8482H776 16You 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.H5869H7200H1564H5612H3789H3117H3335H259 17How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!H3365H7454H410H6105H7218 18I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!H5608H7235H2344H6974H5750 19O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!H6991H7563H433H5493H1818H582 20They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name.H559H4209H6145H5375H7723 21O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?H8130H3068H8130H6962H8618 22Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.H8130H8503H8135H341 23Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.H2713H410H3045H3824H974H3045H8312 24Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.H7200H6090H1870H5148H1870H5769
