Psalm 139
Sons Of Korah Lyrics

You have searched me, Lord,
Oh Lord, you have searched my very being,

And you know me.
And you know me completely and thoroughly.

You know when I sit and when I rise;
You know every moment of my day, when I sit and when I rise;

You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You know what I think even when I am far away from you;

You discern my going out and my lying down;
You understand my every action and my every rest;

You are familiar with all my ways.
You are aware of all my behaviour and conduct.

Before a word is on my tongue
Before I even speak a single word,

You, Lord, know it completely.
You already know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before,
You surround me from every side,

And you lay your hand upon me.
And you tightly hold onto me with your hand.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
This level of understanding is too great for me,

Too lofty for me to attain.
It is beyond what I can comprehend.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I go from your very presence and Spirit,

Where can I flee from your presence?
Where can I escape from your all-knowing presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
Even if I ascend to the heavens, you are there with me;

If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
And even if I lay down in the deepest, darkest depths, you are there with me too.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I should fly up high with the rising sun,

If I settle on the far side of the sea,
Or if I go and stay on the furthest side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,
Even in these far away places, your hand will always lead me,

Your right hand will hold me fast.
Your strong right hand will securely hold onto me.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
Even if I think, 'Surely the darkness will hide me,

And the light become night around me,"
And the light will turn to dark around me,'

even the darkness will not be dark to you;
Even in complete darkness, you can see everything,

The night will shine like the day,
The night will be as bright as the day,

For darkness is as light to you.
Because to you, darkness is as light.

For you created my inmost being;
You were the one who created my deepest parts;

You knit me together in my mother's womb.
You stitched me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
I praise you Lord, because I am intricately and uniquely made;

Your works are wonderful,
Your creations are full of wonder and amazement,

I know that full well.
And I know it completely.

My frame was not hidden from you
Even my bodily frame was not hidden from you,

When I was made in the secret place,
When I was formed in the secret place,

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
When I was woven together in the innermost parts of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
Your eyes saw even my unformed body;

All the days ordained for me were written in your book
Every single one of my days, you have already written in your book

Before one of them came to be.
Even before one of them occurred.

How precious to me are your thoughts, Lord!
Lord, your thoughts are incredibly valuable to me!

How vast is the sum of them!
Their vastness and abundance are too much to count!

Were I to count them,
Even if I attempted to count them all,

They would outnumber the grains of sand—
They would be more than the grains of sand on the earth!

The grains of the sand
More than all of the tiny sand grains,

When I awake, Lord, When I awake Lord
Every time I awake, Lord, every time I awaken,

I am still with you
I am reminded that I am always with you, Lord.

I am still with you
I am reminded that I am always with you, Lord.

I am still with you
And as I repeat it once more, I am reminded that I am always with you, Lord.

I am still with you
And one final time, I am reminded that I am always with you, Lord.
