God’s Wondrous Works

Alternate presentation available

(Psalm 139)

1. 1.O God, you know my rest and waking,

   When I lie down and when I rise anew.

   You search my thoughts, my inmost inclination,

   The words I speak, the ways I walk,

   you know them too.

   You saw when I was made in secret,

   My very bones not hidden from your sight.

   You saw my form; its parts were down in writing.

   I love the wonder of your ways

   and praise your might.

   Your knowledge, God, is wondrous, awe-inspiring;

   Of this my soul is very well-aware.

   If I should fear that darkness might enfold me,

   Your spirit, God, would find me, even there.

   Where could I hide from you, Jehovah,

   Or be concealed, be hidden from your face?

   Not in the Grave nor in the highest heaven,

   Not in the dark nor in the sea;

   there is no place.

(See also Ps. 66:3; 94:19; Jer. 17:10.)
