Psalm
139 Prayed
Trusting Jesus at all times
O Lord Jesus, 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
lying down;
you
are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you
know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in—behind and
before;
you
have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for
me,
too
lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Holy
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.
If I say, “Surely the darkness
will hide me
and
the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be
dark to you;
the
night will shine like the day,
for
darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost
being;
you
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am
fearfully and
wonderfully
made;
your
works are wonderful,
I
know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from
you
when
I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in
the depths of the
earth,
your
eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were
written in your book
before
one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God!
How
vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they
would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I
am still with you.
If only you would slay the
Wicked One, O God!
Away
from me, you bloodthirsty spiritual foes!
They speak of you with evil
intent;
your
adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those spiritual
foes who hate you, O
Lord,
and
abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for
them;
I
count them my enemies.
Give me eyes of faith to see
heaven standing open
and
there before me a white horse,
whose
rider is you, Lord Jesus,
for
you are called Faithful and True.
With justice judge and make
war.
Let
your eyes be like blazing fire,
for
on your head are many crowns.
Come, dressed in your robe
dipped in redeeming
blood, O Word of God.
Let the armies of heaven come
following you,
riding on their white horses
and
dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
Bring power to the sharp sword
which
comes out of you mouth
with
which you strike down the nations.
For you have promised that
the word of God is living and active,
sharper
than any double-edged sword.
Let it penetrate even to
dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow,
Let it judge the thoughts and
attitudes of every
heart,
for
nothing in all creation is hidden from your
sight.
Everything is uncovered and
laid bare before your
eyes,
for
you are the one whom every human being
must
give account.
Therefore help me to fight the
good fight of the
faith,
so
I may take hold of the eternal life
to which I was called when I
made my good
confession
in
the presence of many witnesses.
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.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and
spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the
heart. 13 Nothing in
all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare
before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
