Reading: Psalm 139

2. Psalm 139 (CEV Contemporary English) “You have looked deep into my heart, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts…

3. …You notice everything I do and everywhere I go

4. …I can’t understand all of this

5. …If I were to climb up to the highest heavens, you would be there
…If I were to climb up to the highest heavens, you would be there. If I were to dig down to the world of the dead you would also be there. Suppose I had wings like the dawning day and flew across the ocean. Even then your powerful arm would guide and protect me…

6. …Or suppose I said, “I’ll hide in the dark until night comes to cover me over.” But you see in the dark because daylight and dark are all th same to you. You are the one who put me together inside my mother’s body, and I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me…

7. …Everything you do is marvellous. Of this I have no doubt
…Everything you do is marvellous! Of this I have no doubt. Nothing about me is hidden from you! I was secretly woven together out of human sight, but with your own eyes you saw my body being formed…

8. …Even before I was born, you had written in your book everything about me. Your thoughts are beyond my understanding much more than I could imagine…

9. …I try to count your thoughts, but they outnumber the grains of sand on the beach. And when I awake I will find you nearby…

10. Vs “Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking. Don’t let me follow evil ways, but lead me in the way that time has proven true.”
