“O Lord, you have searched me

And you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

You perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my laying down;

You are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word in on my tongue

You know it completely, O Lord.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens,

You are there;

If I make my bed in the depths,

You are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

If I settle on the far side of the sea,

Even there your hand will guide me,

Your right hand will hold me fast...

Search me, O God and know my heart;

Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Portions of Psalm 139
