My gift to you: Psalm 139 by Leslie F. Brandt

September 5th, 2010 by

O God, you know me inside and out, through and through.
Everything I do, every thought that flits through my mind, every step I take, every plan I make, every word I speak,
You know, even before these things happen.
You know my past; You know my future.
Your enveloping presence covers my every move.
Your knowledge of me sometimes comforts me, sometimes frightens me, but it is always far beyond my comprehension.
There is no way to escape You, no place to hide.
If I ascend to the heights of joy, You are there before me.
If I plunge into the depths of despair, You are there to meet me.
I could fly to the other side of the world and find You there to lead the way.
I could walk into the darkest night, only to find You there to lighten its dismal hours.
You were present at my conception.
You guided the molding of my unformed members within the body of my mother.
Nothing about me, from beginning to end, has been hidden from Your eyes.
How frightfully, fantastically wonderful it all is!
May Your all-knowing, everywhere-present Spirit continue to search out my feelings and thoughts.
Deliver me form that which may hurt or destroy me, and guide me along the paths of love and truth.

Psalm 139 – Copied from – Psalms Now by Leslie F. Brandt
