- Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, Lord, You know it all. - Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I get up;
You understand my thought from far away. - Search me, God, and know my heart;
Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there is any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. - Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. - For You created my innermost parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’Next verse!With image
