You created my innermost being-Psalm 139

1 You have searched me, LORD,    and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise;    you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down;    you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue    you, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before,    and you lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit?    Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,    if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me,    your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me    and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;    the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For you created my inmost being;    you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;    your works are wonderful,    I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you    when I was made in the secret place,    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;    all the days ordained for me were written in your book    before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!    How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them,    they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. 19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!    Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! 20 They speak of you with evil intent;    your adversaries misuse your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,    and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them;    I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, God, and know my heart;    test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
