Ps 139 GOD, investigate my life;get all the facts firsthand. 2 I'm an open book to you;even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking. 3 You know when I leave and when I get back;I'm never out of your sight. 4 You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence. 5 I look behind me and you're there,then up ahead and you're there, too — your reassuring presence, coming and going. 6 This is too much, too wonderful — I can't take it all in! 7 Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?to be out of your sight? 8 If I climb to the sky, you're there!If I go underground, you're there! 9 If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, 10 You'd find me in a minute — you're already there waiting! 11 Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark!At night I'm immersed in the light!" 12 It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you;night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you. 13 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;you formed me in my mother's womb. 14 I thank you, High God — you're breathtaking!Body and soul, I am marvelously made!I worship in adoration — what a creation! 15 You 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. 16 Like 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. 17 Your thoughts — how rare, how beautiful!God, I'll never comprehend them! 18 I 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! 19 And please, God, do away with wickedness for good!And you murderers — out of here! — 20 all the men and women who belittle you, God,infatuated with cheap god-imitations. 21 See how I hate those who hate you, GOD,see how I loathe all this godless arrogance; 22 I hate it with pure, unadulterated hatred.Your enemies are my enemies! 23 Investigate my life, O God,find out everything about me;Cross-examine and test me,get a clear picture of what I'm about; 24 See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong — then guide me on the road to eternal life.
