Psalms 139:1 - Prayer Tents

139A David psalm. GOD, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.H5329H4210H1732H3068H2713H3045 2I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.H3045H3427H6965H995H7454H7350 3You know when I leave and when I get back; I'm never out of your sight.H2219H734H7252H5532H1870 4You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence.H4405H3956H3068H3045 5I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too— your reassuring presence, coming and going.H6696H268H6924H7896H3709 6This is too much, too wonderful— I can't take it all in!H1847H6383H6383H7682H3201 7Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?H3212H7307H1272H6440 8If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there!H5266H8064H3331H7585 9If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon,H5375H3671H7837H7931H319H3220 10You'd find me in a minute— you're already there waiting!H3027H5148H3225H270 11Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I'm immersed in the light!"H559H2822H7779H3915H216H1157 12It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you.H2822H2821H3915H215H3117H2825H219 13Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb.H7069H3629H5526H517H990 14I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation!H3034H3372H6395H6381H4639H5315H3045H3966 15You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something.H6108H3582H6213H5643H7551H8482H776 16Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.H5869H7200H1564H5612H3789H3117H3335H259 17Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful! God, I'll never comprehend them!H3365H7454H410H6105H7218 18I couldn't even begin to count them— any more than I could count the sand of the sea. Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!H5608H7235H2344H6974H5750 19And please, God, do away with wickedness for good! And you murderers—out of here!—H6991H7563H433H5493H1818H582 20all the men and women who belittle you, God, infatuated with cheap god-imitations.H559H4209H6145H5375H7723 21See how I hate those who hate you, GOD, see how I loathe all this godless arrogance;H8130H3068H8130H6962H8618 22I hate it with pure, unadulterated hatred. Your enemies are my enemies!H8130H8503H8135H341 23Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about;H2713H410H3045H3824H974H3045H8312 24See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life.H7200H6090H1870H5148H1870H5769
