139[For the choir director: A psalm of David.] O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.H5329H4210H1732H3068H2713H30452You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.H3045H3427H6965H995H7454H73503You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.H2219H734H7252H5532H18704You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.H4405H3956H3068H30455You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.H6696H268H6924H7896H37096Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!H1847H6383H6383H7682H32017I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!H3212H7307H1272H64408If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.H5266H8064H3331H75859If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,H5375H3671H7837H7931H319H322010even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.H3027H5148H3225H27011I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—H559H2822H7779H3915H216H115712but 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.H2822H2821H3915H215H3117H2825H21913You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.H7069H3629H5526H517H99014Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.H3034H3372H6395H6381H4639H5315H3045H396615You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.H6108H3582H6213H5643H7551H8482H77616You 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.H5869H7200H1564H5612H3789H3117H3335H25917How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!H3365H7454H410H6105H721818I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!H5608H7235H2344H6974H575019O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!H6991H7563H433H5493H1818H58220They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name.H559H4209H6145H5375H772321O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?H8130H3068H8130H6962H861822Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.H8130H8503H8135H34123Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.H2713H410H3045H3824H974H3045H831224Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.H7200H6090H1870H5148H1870H5769
